This event is the fourth of these public lectures and is an intensive discussion about Douglas Cardinal’s design of the Canadian Museum of History. An important part of Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s vision to create symbols of nationhood, the museum was created to enshrine all of the cultures of Canada. The museum is rich in symbolism, and unique in its eloquent use of curves. It is the most visited building in Canada, with more than one million visitors each year. It is consistently chosen as a stage to host world leaders visiting the Nation’s Capital on official business.
