Art & Heritage
The Senate Artwork and Heritage Collection
The Senate of Canada curates a world-class collection of more than 6,000 works of art, ceremonial objects and heritage furniture. Many of these items are displayed in the Senate of Canada Building or used in parliamentary functions, such as Senate sittings. The collection’s curated works and artefacts are significant to the material culture of the Senate, celebrate Canadian history, ideas and identities and serve as reminders of Canada’s momentous events, ceremonies and individuals.
While the collection is rooted in tradition, it is evolving to better reflect a modern Senate and to give Canada’s different regions and minority communities a stronger presence in parliamentary spaces.
Visual Voices Program
The Visual Voices program is a rotating exhibit of artworks with themes highlighting senators' work.
