Born in Hungary, Victor Tolgesy moved to Canada in 1951 and began exhibiting in 1958. He left a permanent mark on the visual arts in Ottawa through his contributions as an artist, educator and leader in the artistic community. In 1973, he was elected a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Victor Tolgesy's work is included in numerous public and private collections. He completed the City of Ottawa's first public art commission, a papier-mâché sculpture entitled McClintock's Dream, for the ByWard Market Building in 1978.

Please note that while the Ottawa City Hall is opened 24/7 for people to walk through, the lights are dimmed after 5:00 pm. For this reason, it may be difficult to appreciate the sculpture's exceptional details.
