Allow plenty of time to experience this high-tech, must-see museum across the river, in Hull, Québec. Documenting the history of Canada through a range of spectacular exhibits, it's an objective recounting of the nation's timeline from the perspectives of its aboriginal peoples, its colonial beginnings and the rich multicultural diversity of Canada today. Entry includes admission to the Children's Museum , based around a theme of 'the Great Adventure': over 30 permanent and visiting exhibits allow kids an opportunity to travel the world.
Outside, there are stunning views of Parliament Hill, across the river. The building's striking stone exterior has been sculpted into smooth ripples, like an undulating wave, to honor the aboriginal belief that evil dwells in angled nooks. A variety of visiting hands-on exhibitions, events and IMAX films maintain year-round appeal.
