HERMETIC CODE TOUR IN THE
MANITOBA LEGISLATIVE BUILDING
www.heartlandtravel.ca/hermeticcodetours.htm
Dan Brown would be at a loss trying to decipher all the meaning enlaced in Canada's finest provincial legislative building. The
grandiose interior of this ode to Olympus is studded with hieroglyphics, freemasonic symbols and numeric codes, all of which
are unveiled in the Hermetic Code Tour — a must for anyone with a sense of intrigue. On the top of the building is Winnipeg's
most beloved citizen: the beaming Golden Boy, our nod to Hermes who was crafted in Paris and holds a sheath of wheat.

How many places do you know that can take you from the towering dinosaurs of the Cretaceous Period, to across the cosmos
through space and time, to the buffalo-laden prairie plains all under one roof? If your answer is none, then you haven't been
to The Manitoba Museum. The nine permanent galleries in this award-winning heritage and edu-tainment centre will enthrall
kids and adults alike. Whether you are catching a Planetarium show featuring one of the world's most advanced projection
systems, or viewing some of Canada's most important historical artifacts in the Hudson's Bay Company Museum Collection, The
Manitoba Museum is sure to please.
