Royal Tyrrell Museum- Signage
June 4th, 2008
Design: Bill Boucock Partnership of Calgary
Client: Royal Tyrrell Museum
Date: 1985
Perhaps one my favorite places to visit in Alberta, and likely one of the most interesting, is the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta. The blending architecture and signage of the museum seem to literaly emerge from the valley badlands. Of particular interest to me is the dynamic logo in stainless steel; a dinosaur with horizontal layers that replicate the surrounding landscape.
