Deception. Deduction. Discovery.

The Friends of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum are hosting Artifact/Artifiction, our annual fundraiser and game where you call our bluff. We'll present peculiar artifacts from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum collections – and strange tales about their origins – throughout the gallery spaces. Which tales are fact? Which are fiction? Uncover the twisted truths and you'll take home the GRAND PRIZE: a $3000 CAA travel voucher courtesy of the Bassendowski Fund. Your ticket includes light appetizers, a beverage (beer or wine), PLUS games and entertainment including a silent auction, raffles, music and cash bar.

Artifact/Artifiction

All proceeds from Artifact/Artifiction go directly to the Royal Saskatchewan Museum Opportunity Fund to help fund exhibits, programs and scientific research at the Museum. Since its inception, Artifact/Artifiction has raised more than $200,000 and funded nine graduate students studying everything from pollination to bugs in amber.
