Audio Transcript

​

If you take a look across the road just ahead, you'll see a sculpture that you might miss at first glance. Just look for two men talking to each other, two stone men that is. This piece is appropriately named The Conversation!

​

This bronze sculpture was donated to the city by Norcen Energy Resources and was created by William Hodd McElcheran. The sculpture depicts two businessmen in coats and fedoras, one with a briefcase, most likely conducting some kind of deal.

​

As a part of the historic Stephen Avenue and the Pedestrian Mall, The Conversation is one of Calgary’s most famous sculptures!
