The Conservatory is currently closed for renovations.Each of the four pyramids is a different climate zone. In the dead of winter you can escape into the sub tropics or maybe the dessert.
The Muttart is another expression of Edmonton's love for pyramids. In the 70's an influential local architect, Peter Hemingway, started using this shape. the pyramid is being marketed as something very "Edmonton" I suspect that our new hockey arena will also be a pyramid of some sort.

Please don't be alarmed with the colour of the river. It is still spring run off in the mountains and the river is heavy with silt.
