The interior is dominated by the vast entrance hall and staircase. The staircase has three flights of 13 stairs and provides a ceremonial route through the rotunda underneath the dome to the assembly room. The staircase is overlooked by arcaded corridors on all sides on all three levels. This is covered by a decorative top-lit ceiling. The whole effect ir imposing, creating a sense of power.
The sculptor of the Golden Boy, Georges Gardet, is also responsible for the two life-sized bison flanking the grand staircase. Each of these bison weighs 2,268 kilograms. The interior is richly detailed with many sculpural pieces.
The rotunda has an opening through the floor to ground level where the centre of the building is marked in the floor design. Above the doorway to the assembly chamber is a mural commemorating Manitoba's war dead. This mural and the ceiling provide the colour as the walls are left in their natural stone state.
The finest interior in the building is the Manitoba Room which lies to the front of the building and is used for official functions. It is a grand space with fine columns and chandeliers. Other interiors of note include the Assembly Chamber and the Lieutenant Governor's Office.
