Medalta is an innovative, industrial non-profit museum, contemporary ceramic arts facility, art gallery, educational classroom, and community hub in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. Located within a converted century-old factory, it has become an exciting place where cutting-edge technologies meet historic restoration and archaeology come together.
