National Gallery's Cooling Image

Built 25 years ago, Ottawa’s National Gallery has been the focal point for both the many visitors to Ottawa as well as for local residents. The 140 foot high Great Hall is both imposing in its design and its ability to leave many people amazed. Currently undergoing renovations, including the replacement of approximately 1500 glass units, work to the Great Hall is expected to be completed by mid-December. Until then, the National Gallery has introduced a creative flair to the customary green netting that often covers scaffolding at construction sites. Unlike most scaffold screening, this one has received some favourable comments.
