Many designs were submitted for the 1968 contest to find a new building for the Winnipeg Art Gallery to live in. We describe some of the best architectural proposals that never made it. Plus, some interesting Winnipeg Trivia! Did you know the Budweiser Clydesdales were from Shea's Brewery here in Winnipeg? If you know more interesting firsts, besides the Winnipeg Art Gallery being the first Civic Art Gallery in Canada, then email us at WagPodCast@Gmail.com See images of what we are talking about here; http://pinterest.com/wagca/january-2013-podcast/

A grand tour of the Winnipeg Art Gallery is waiting for you! We explore places the public never goes, explain certain mysteries, and drop a gumball down a stairwell.
