Looking into Calgary's growing museum scene
Scattered between tall skyscrapers, administrative buildings, and the ever-dominant oil and gas corporations – scarcely 450 metres apart – lay two of Calgary's influential centres for art and culture.
Museum of Contemporary Art Calgary, or MOCA, has inhabited the local art scene since 1988 under the name Triangle Gallery. The gallery – located in the Calgary Municipal Building – was re-branded in 2012 under its new name.
The Glenbow Museum, meanwhile, has been a part of Calgary's downtown cityscape since 1966. During those 47 years, it has accumulated roughly 28,000 works of art.

Part of the group, but towering over these dancers is 19-year-old Moses Asher Christen.

Alternative to tattoo removal transforms old ink
Remember that "awesome" band back in 1988? They were so awesome, you were compelled to tattoo their logo on your back?
Twenty five years later, you're older, wiser, and pondering the wisdom of inking the words "Def Leppard" between your shoulder blades.
Your faded tattoo is "bringin' on the heartbreak," but removal seems like a painful and lengthy process.
