About this audio guide
This guide to The Whyte in Banff follows the day job that put a teenage Peter Whyte behind the wheel of a Brewster Transport touring car in the nineteen twenties, chauffeuring silent-film stars around town. It traces how that work sat alongside his art training and a Boston meeting with a fellow student named Catharine Robb, the woman he later married. Along the way it touches the mountain guides, outfitters, and drivers whose working lives the museum's own archives were built to hold.
