"BROTHERHOOD OF MANKIND" a.k.a. "The Family of Man" — CALGARY 🤝❤️
“ Different faces, different stories, one humanity.” 🤝 ❤️
Standing among these giant figures feels like standing inside a lesson about humanity. 🗿🌎
These 10 towering sculptures were created by Spanish artist Mario Armengol for Expo 67 in Montreal before finding their home here in Calgary.
Look closely—the figures reach toward one another and hold hands, creating a powerful symbol of connection, unity, fellowship, and our shared humanity . They have no obvious markers of race, class, or status, reminding us that beneath all our differences, we are simply people. A reminder that humanity is stronger when we reach for one another.

"Wonderland in Calgary"
✨️🤍 where art meets imagination! 🤍✨
Standing in front of Wonderland, a giant 12-metre wire sculpture of a young girl’s head, created by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa wherein you can actually walk inside the sculpture and experience the artwork from a completely different perspective! 😍
The sculpture represents the head of a young girl and is associated with ideas of dreams, youth and imagination.
The intricate structure required 11,568 welds to complete. Because of its open wire design, the sculpture looks completely different depending on where you stand and this skyline becomes part of the artwork.
Located at The Bow in downtown Calgary, making it an easy stop while exploring the city centre.
Calgary tip: Don’t just take one photo! Walk around it, step inside, look up, and try different angles. The shadows, lines and buildings create a different picture every time.
Wonderland isn’t just something you look at. "YOU" become part of the art.
