AAA Editor Notes
Medalta is at 713 Medalta Ave. S.E. An innovative industrial museum, contemporary ceramic arts facility and art gallery, Medalta is located within a converted century-old factory and has become a place where modern technologies, historic restoration and archaeology come together. Brick, tile and pottery manufacturing were prominent industries in Medicine Hat starting in the late 19th century due to a supply of clay deposits, natural gas and the availability of railroad transportation. The city once boasted several historic ceramic sites, such as Medalta Potteries, Medicine Hat Potteries (later Hycroft China Ltd.) and Medicine Hat Brick & Tile Factory (Formerly I-XL Industries).
Located in the Historic Clay District, visitors can watch pottery demonstrations, view beehive kilns constructed in the early 1920s and tour the expansive site complete with artifacts, a large collection of Medicine Hat Pottery and production machines. Special events and pottery classes and workshops also take place throughout the year.
Guided tours are available. Time: Allow 1 hour minimum.
