If you happen to be a fan of modern architecture, Canada will knock you off your feet and you don’t even have to go to Toronto or Montreal to admire it. Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, is home to quite a few wonders of contemporary architecture, starting with these three stunning buildings.
Art Gallery of Alberta
Art lovers visiting Edmonton shouldn’t miss this gallery for the world. You don’t even have to step inside to be impressed by it because its building is a work of art in itself. Its patinated zinc and stainless-steel exterior is a sight to behold, and you shouldn’t miss the Aurora-inspired room once you step inside.
Telus World of Science
Telus World of Science is Edmonton’s most popular science museum and its building consists of several segments, each one unique in its own right. The most spectacular one was certainly the Zeidler Dome, which happens to be Canada’s largest planetarium dome theatre.
Muttart Conservatory
Botanical gardens often feature spectacular glasshouses, but Muttart Conservatory takes things up a notch. It features four glassed pyramids, with tropical and arid biomes, and they do a great job giving one of Edmonton’s most popular green spaces a modern feel.
