The
Muttart Conservatory is a unique botanic display
garden that brings together a collection of plants from a diverse range
of climatic conditions. The structure was designed in the early 70's
by Edmonton architect, Peter Hemingway. The pyramid shape is static
and non-directional, providing stark contrast to its natural setting
in the River Valley and the softness of the living world within. The
Conservatory features four display pyramids and a small skylight located
over the Centre Court area, Each pyramid maintains unique enviromental
conditions to meet the needs of the plants housed within. Centre Court
area is 1319 square metres (14,200 square feet). It houses the admissions
area, gift shop, Gourmet Goodies Cafe, art gallery and administration
offices, and provides circulation between the four display pyramids.
A mural, painted by well-known native artist, Alex Janvier, encircles
the perimeter of this central area.
