Canadian Museum of History


Embark on an inspiring journey through Canada’s past at the Canadian Museum of History.

Step into the breathtaking Grand Hall, an architectural marvel with sweeping curved windows offering magnificent views of Parliament Hill. Stroll along the welcoming coastal promenade, where you’ll encounter six distinctive Indigenous houses and the world’s largest collection of totem poles. Along the way, admire Bill Reid’s plaster masterpiece, “Spirit of Haida Gwaii,” and Robert Davidson’s striking bronze sculpture, “Raven Bringing Light to the World.” Both artworks beautifully celebrate the rich traditions and stories of Canada’s Indigenous peoples. The exhibitions invite you to delve deeper into their vibrant heritage, and in the newly opened Canadian History Hall, you’ll discover over 15,000 years of history, brought vividly to life through engaging exhibitions and plenty of hands-on, interactive features.

This beautiful museum enjoys a superb riverside location on the Ottawa River in Gatineau, just across from Canada’s Parliament—making it easily accessible from downtown Ottawa whether you’re on foot, cycling, or using public transport.
