The Alberta Legislature Building is more than steel, stone and glass. It is grand architecture, history, a place to visit and a living monument to the institution and ideals of democratic parliament.
Each year thousands of people, including groups of school students, visit the Alberta Legislature, and for those who are unable to visit the building, we wanted to bring the building to you.
