The RPM's theme-based exhibits provide insight on the various social, cultural, political and economic developments that have shaped our community. Exhibits in the main gallery change every six months.

We also feature displays in the downstairs hallway by Alfredo's restaurant. These displays are changed every two months and feature a variety of materials from local artists as well as the RPM collection.

For more information on educational programming at the museum, please visit the For Schools and For Adults pages.

Permanent Exhibits

The Glass Wheatfield

The museum is home to a unique and internationally recognized work of art by Saskatchewan artist Jacqueline Berting. The Glass Wheatfield - A Salute to Canadian Farmers - is a sculpture that must be viewed in person. The Wheatfield celebrates and honors the heritage of prairie people. It is comprised of 14,000 individually crafted waist high stalks of glass wheat mounted in a steel base.

The "Building Community" Mural

Our "Building Community" mural was created by artist, Sherry Farrell Racette. The mural presents a non-traditional view of history, including men, women, and children in the story of the growth and development of our community.

The mural is installed in the pedway of the Frederick W. Hill Mall and is located on the mail level of 1835 Scarth Street, just below the Regina Plains Museum's downtown gallery. The mural is available for public viewing during mall hours.
