From the inside
When looking at the CBC Building from the outside, you'd never guess how breathtaking its ceiling is inside. Use the little museum as an excuse to see some amazing architecture. From the main hall at the centre of the building, by the indoor café where many CBC staff have lunch, you can admire the Atrium's spectacular skylight, way up high. Then you can carry on to visit the free CBC Museum on the west side of the building, where you'll see many kids shows' props and will be able to watch clips of old CBC programs for adults and kids. There used to be guided tours of CBC studios for the general public but they're not currently offered.
