Canada's Michelangelo is a Dene Indian from Cold Lake, Alta.

Alex Janvier has been selected to paint his abstract work on the massive dome

of the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa this winter.

Although Janvier jokes about turning the dome into the Sistine Chapel, the artistic commission is one of the most important in the country.

A temporary floor will be built so Janvier can stand up to complete the four-month job. The dome, at the river end of the museum's grand hall, measures 45 square metres.
