Pyramids of Canada


In Edmonton Alberta, the Muttart Conservatory adds a unique shape to the city's skyline.  Four glass pyramids house plants from around the world.  Three of the pyramids feature permanent displays representing the three distinct biomes of temperate, arid and tropical.  The fourth pyramid offers changing exhibits and programs.  A visit to this place is well worth the effort if you find yourself in the lovely city of Edmonton.

Very interesting. I'm going to have to take your word for these things as Edmonton is not on my bucket list and time is running out. At first I thought you had found a series of mini-Louvre museums! :)

That would be fun to see.

I've seen these at a distance when I've been there, but never checked them out.

That's interesting. When we lived in Phoenix a few years ago our neighbors spent most of their time at their main home in Edmonton and they never mentioned these.
