If you go to the Muttart, you can see Mars, even during the day!

They also have other critters like this crested gecko reminding you to "Hang in there!"

Frogs! At the Muttart

#yeg #Muttart #frog #frogs #froggos

I had to drop by the Muttart Conservatory this week to check out the feature display of LEGO creations from the Northern Alberta LEGO Users Group (NALUG). Many of the plastic brick sculptures depict iconic Edmonton locations - including the Muttart! Definitely worth a visit.

Just recently, spouse and I were trying to figure out why the area near #Muttart is so "cluttered" with roads. Turns out they were planning to build freeways in #YEG downtown and built the first part there before the project was shelved.

Edmonton METS Plan (1969 Historical Freeway Plan)

Written like an Architrivia article, but thought that sharing it as a discussion thread was more appropriate in this case. Feel free to adapt it as an article. Back in the 1960s, the car was king and freeways were the way of the future for cities. Of course we don't see it that way anymore, but...

#Muttart in #YEG feature greenhouse pyramid is beyond stunning. Inspiring and disturbing in all the right ways.

As my son and I laid under the spinning globe with the sound of water and ambiant music we heard the pleas of children from around the world, one saying "I want you to act as if your house is on fire."
