- Visit the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, renowned internationally for its symbolic architecture and its inspiring, touching stories
- Get immersed in the true stories of Canada's military history, chat with a veteran, and feel history spring to life before your eyes
- See fascinating, rare artifacts and war memorabilia, including uniforms, vehicles, art, and touching first-hand accounts from real Canadian soldiers
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.

Excellent
There is lots and lots of walking, so wear comfortable shoes. However there are several places where you can sit and watch a video which is offered in 2 or 3 languages, so that gives you a little break.

My husband is a huge history buff, so it was amazing to be able to take him there as a date and learn so much about how involved Canada really was in war throughout our short 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.
