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.

RAFFLE |  Selected on the night of Artifact/Artifiction, you will be entered to win:

SILENT AUCTION |  Included in your ticket purchase, it is an opportunity to snag local experiences and support scientific research at the RSM.

In 2023, Artifact/Artifiction drew nearly 250 attendees and raised $20,000. Since its inception, Artifact/Artifiction has raised more than $175,000 and funded eight graduate students studying everything from pollination to bugs in amber.
