Don't miss this if visiting Ottawa, and really don't miss it if you are visiting Canada. It's a wonderful chronology of Canada's history with good focus on native civilizations and culture. It's also a stunning space; especially the great hall. It stands on the Ottawa river in the Quebec side. Make sure you leave time to wander down to the river. The building also houses an IMAX cinema. It has a decent cafe and a separate restuarant.
