Visit the Canadian War Museum and witness Canada's rich military history showcased through amazing artifacts, artwork, personal stories, photos, and interactive presentations. Tour the extensive permanent exhibitions and expand your knowledge of the conflicts that shaped Canada, Canadians, and the world. Rest and reflect in Memorial Hall, and discover the Museum's fascinating architectural theme.
The War Museum’s four Canadian Experience Galleries are organized chronologically, from the earliest times to the most recent military operations. Each gallery highlights the ways in which past events have shaped Canada and Canadians, the brutal realities of organized human conflict, and the importance of remembrance and understanding.
The exhibitions use the human experience of war — told mainly through the personal stories, artifacts, and the recollections of ordinary Canadians — to engage visitors in a personal dialogue about their country, its past, and its prospects.

Canadian Museum of History
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.
