Stories of Us Exhibit Graphics at the Royal Alberta Museum | Arttec Signs

, , , ,

Arttec Signs is proud to have completed work on a major new exhibition at the Royal Alberta Museum. Stories of Us: Building Alberta’s Collection explores how Alberta’s history is gathered, interpreted, and shared, inviting visitors to reflect not just on artifacts, but on the stories and choices behind them.

This thoughtfully designed exhibition challenges visitors to consider what is collected, what is overlooked, and why those decisions matter. Through a mix of large-scale wall murals, interpretive graphics, and carefully integrated visual elements, the gallery encourages curiosity and reflection while guiding visitors through the space in a clear, cohesive way.

Arttec supported the exhibition with custom environmental graphics that complement the museum’s curatorial vision. From bold yet restrained wall graphics to clean, readable interpretive panels, every element was designed to enhance storytelling without distracting from the artifacts themselves. The result is a modern, visually engaging environment that supports the exhibition’s themes while maintaining a timeless museum aesthetic.

Projects like Stories of Us highlight the collaborative nature of museum exhibitions. From curators and designers to fabricators and installers, every detail matters. Our team worked closely with the Royal Alberta Museum to ensure precision, durability, and visual clarity, meeting the high standards required for a permanent public institution while respecting the sensitivity of the subject matter.

We’re honoured to see this work featured beyond the museum walls as well. The exhibition, and the process behind it, was recently highlighted in a feature by CBC News, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how Alberta’s stories are thoughtfully collected and presented for future generations.

If you’re curious to learn more about the exhibit and the ideas behind it, we encourage you to watch the CBC News video feature and experience Stories of Us: Building Alberta’s Collection through the lens of those who helped bring it to life.
