Canadian Museum of History
The Canadian Museum of History stands across the Ottawa River in Gatineau. Its galleries offer a broad account of the people and histories that shaped Canada, beyond the view from Parliament Hill.
The river crossing gives you a different angle on the capital, but the collections are the reason to make the trip. Choose galleries that match your interests instead of trying to absorb the whole national story in one pass. Check current exhibitions and allow time for the return journey.
