Vegreville egg, Giant egg sculpture in Vegreville, Canada
The Vegreville egg is an oversized sculpture designed to resemble a Ukrainian Easter egg, crafted from aluminum. The structure is composed of thousands of geometric shapes fitted together to create the entire form.
The sculpture was created in 1975 as a commemoration of the centennial of the Canadian mounted police force. It also honors the Ukrainian settlement that had developed in the region.
The sculpture displays traditional patterns from Ukrainian Easter eggs, visible in the geometric designs across its surface. It represents the Ukrainian community that shaped this region and continues to be part of local identity.
The monument is located in an easy-to-reach spot with ample parking for visitors. Information signs on site explain the history and meaning of the sculpture.
The entire structure rotates on its base according to wind direction. This ability to move gives the monument a living quality that constantly changes how it appears.
