Canadian Museum of History
The Canadian Museum of History is Canada's national museum of human history and the most popular museum in the country. Located in Gatineau, Quebec, the museum's primary purpose is to collect, study, preserve, and present material objects that illuminate the human history of Canada and the cultural diversity of its people.
The museum's iconic building, designed by architect Douglas Cardinal, features a stunning curved architecture that reflects the natural landscapes shaped by wind and water. The building itself is a testament to Canadian architectural innovation and Indigenous-inspired design.
The museum houses the world's largest indoor collection of totem poles and offers an immersive journey through Canada's history, from the earliest human habitation to the present day.
