What’s that thing on the back of my twenty? – A look at art and culture on Canadian currency
I recently returned from a 14 month trip around Australia and S.E. Asia. Both
regions have an abundance of rich cultural heritage, evident in their art.
Trudging through the Vancouver Airport I noticed a piece of our own cultural
heritage, a large greenish sculpture I recognized as a Haida piece. I knew I’d
seen it before but I couldn’t quite place where. Later, when buying my first
Double-Double since 2010 I saw it staring up at me from the back of a $20 bill.
