Artifact/Artifiction
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 20 peculiar artifacts from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum collections – and 20 even stranger 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. Your $75 ticket includes light appetizers, a beverage (beer or wine), PLUS games and entertainment including a silent auction, raffles, music and cash bar.
