Our visit to the Museum of Civilization

Last week we visited the Museum of Civilization in Ottawa in Gatineau. It is the most visited museum in Canada and with good reason.


From the initial organic design of the building by renown architect Douglas Cardinal it was a place to behold.

Inside the museum dedicated to human history captured amazing scenes from Canada's early history, including an entire hall dedicated to indigenous art that showed some beautiful recreations of  totems from Pacific North West tribes

Here are our images of that time.

These next images were of a room that replicated sunrise to sunset right down to all the varieties of colors of lights in the sky in old early settlement cabin. A day that you could see take shape in front of you in a matter of minutes, so ingenious.
