The foyer of the House of Commons is decorated with two bands of sculpture that encircle the busy space on all sides. The lower band, entitled the History of Canada Series, comprises ten panels of sculpture, the last of which was completed by Dominion Sculptor Eleanor Milne in 1975. As a whole, this monumental frieze casts a long look back over thousands of years. Together, the panels illustrate key points in the Canadian experience, and reflect the ideas, activities and convictions that have helped define the institution of Parliament in this country.
