For one of the most rewarding museum experiences in the National Capital Region, don’t miss the Canadian Museum of History. Designed by Indigenous architect Douglas Cardinal, the Museum — one of Canada’s most popular — celebrates the diverse histories, stories and cultures of Indigenous Peoples through galleries, displays and monumental works of art, while also exploring the compelling personal stories that have shaped Canada, from earliest times to the present day. Youngsters and their families will love learning through play at the Canadian Children’s Museum, and visitors of all ages will enjoy the thrill of the large-screen adventures at CINÉ+.
