Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre in Calgary, is more than a museum. Your admission ticket grants all-day entry to five floors of exhibitions that tell the story of music in Canada, from its historical roots to contemporary expressions. Whether you are a budding Mozart or simply curious, you will discover the stories, sounds and innovations that have shaped the nation's musical landscape.

Inside, you can view rare instruments, artefacts, sound equipment and Canadian music memorabilia, and celebrate musical icons at multiple Canadian Halls of Fame. Rock out with interactive instrument installations, experiment in Soundbox, a music workshop, and let the sound that pours out of each exhibition space take you on a journey. Together with a 300-seat performance space, it creates a music experience unlike any other. Allow around 2 hours to explore all five floors.
