The Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown sits on a city block that Canada literally paid for, collectively. Opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1964 on the 100th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference, it was funded by all ten provinces as a living memorial to the birth of the nation. Its architect, Dimitri Dimakopoulos, gave it the monolithic presence of Brutalist design, though at street level it reads as three separate buildings.

Inside, the 1,102-seat Homburg Theatre has been home to the musical adaptation of Anne of Green Gables since 1965. In 2014, the Guinness World Records confirmed it as the longest-running annual musical theatre production in the world. The art gallery holds over 17,000 works, including Robert Harris's preparatory sketches for his famous Fathers of Confederation painting.

VoiceMap's self-guided audio tours use the Centre as a lens on Canadian nationhood, tracing the origins of Confederation from the 1864 conference debates through to the building's role as their cultural monument, and connecting the Anne of Green Gables phenomenon to the island that inspired it.
