A new chapter in Saskatoon’s art history is slated to begin Oct. 21 with the opening of the Remai Modern, a museum of modern and contemporary art with a large permanent collection that includes Picasso linocuts and some of his ceramic works.
The new Remai Modern Art Gallery may be the most impressive arts venue you’ve never heard of, thanks to its location in Saskatoon, a thriving—if overlooked—city on the Canadian prairie of Saskatchewan.

Since June 2013, a modernist structure has been under construction on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River in Saskatoon’s River Landing neighbourhood. Its low, flat topography mimics the surrounding Prairie landscape and its protruding glass wings and copper-coloured mesh exterior distinguishes it from any other building in the city.
