About This Tour

Established in 1879 as a home for the Canadian National Exhibition, Exhibition Place is now Canada’s largest entertainment venue.  It also holds many works of public art that come in a variety of forms, including architecture, murals, statues, decorative brickwork, and even illustrated benches.  With over 140 years as a public space, Exhibition Place showcases art from several different decades, including neoclassical work from the 1920s, Art Deco features from the 1930s, abstract and modernist sculpture from the 1950s and 1960s, and contemporary pieces from more recent times.
