Canadian Museum of History

4.7 / 5 (53 reviews)

Delve into the rich human history of Canadian culture at the Canadian Museum of History. Impressive from the get-go, make sure to spend some time in the museum's architectural centrepiece, the Grand Hall, where you can enjoy views of Parliament Hill through the curving, six-storey window wall. The large totems and six Native houses connected by a Pacific Coast shoreline and boardwalk set up the rest of your journey perfectly. As you prepare to wander through the country's storied past, the exhibitions will shed light on each subject along the way.

Absolutely fantastic! Amazing displays and such a clear path through the exhibits. Could spend an entire day there and should have given it more than the 2.5 hours we did.
