The Fraser Courtyard brings to life the old 98 Street that was previously lost to downtown Edmonton development. Aspen trees are planted here, forming a high canopy to accommodate cafe seating underneath. Day Lilies are planted below the Aspen trees—a breed developed by researchers in Alberta before rising to popularity around North America.

Where the museum now stands where a former Canada Post main branch once sat. The exterior of that previous building featured nine mosaic murals by Ernestine Tahedl, commissioned by the federal government in 1966. These remarkable mosaics were carefully deconstructed and catalogued in 2012 to be incorporated into the new museum. They were restored, reframed, and reinstalled within inches of their original location, and incorporated into the design as a delightful feature along the pedestrian promenade and a screen for the cafe patio.

The Children's Gallery is designed to feel like a tree fort within a forest. A metal panel perforated with Aspen leaf shapes wraps the gallery, and the mix of diagonal and straight support columns represent tree trunks.

Behind the scenes, the museum is equally enjoyable for staff. Offices have plenty of natural light, and views to outdoors can be found in staff break rooms and back corridors.

Strict environmental conditions are required throughout the museum to keep the objects safe. Galleries are designed to be open and flexible spaces to accommodate changing exhibits over the next 100 years.
