Ghosts of the Past: Bronze Sculptures

Join us for a 1 hour guided historical walking tour in downtown Red Deer. All tours start at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery. Please pre-register.

Have you seen the ghosts of Red Deer? This renowned bronze public art collection was initiated by the Downtown Business Association and helps tell some of the stories of Red Deer’s past.

The ghosts represent people, folklore and past ways of life. Most sculptures are symbols of times past, of community spirit or service that made Red Deer a better place to live.

The ghosts were created by local and provincial artists and these sculptures are part of the City of Red Deer’s public art collection for all to enjoy throughout the downtown core. It is one of the largest life-size bronze sculpture collections in Canada.
