Ottawa-Museums ; and yes, Ottawa has a world class variety! Please see a selection below and if your visit to Ottawa allows the time, visit some of the Ottawa museums.
Those of us that have a hankering’ for the sky, really want to take in a museum that has a mission to provide the visitor the flying history of Canada, and how that history affected that of the world. It’s a bit historical, a bit futuristic, and last time I was there they had some neat “hands-on” displays. If you like flying have a look at what they have on display at the Aviation Museum.
When you’re standing on the lookout behind the parliament buildings look to your right and just across the river. That architecturally breathtaking building houses the Museum of Civilization. For a fascinating glimpse into the history of civilization, Canadian and much of the world, this is a must see. It’s also a fairly pleasant walk on a warm summer’s day! Click here for more on the Museum of Civilization.
It was a Cold War time in Canada's history.Diefenbunker: Visit where Canada's key politicians and her rich and important citizens would have scurried in the event that the leaders of the world weren't able to halt nuclear war in the 1960's. Click here to visit the Diefenbunker.
Take a walk on the wild side and visit Ottawa’s Museum of Nature. Visit the dinosaurs, birds of Canada, the prairie buffalo, the polar bears of Canada’s north. Click here for more information on the Canadian Museum of Nature in downtown Ottawa.
Recently built, and somewhat ironically, almost in the shadow of Canada’s Peace Tower, the Canadian War Museum is a tribute to Canada’s military past and present. The structure is dramatic, built to resemble a bunker, perhaps one of those overlooking a beach in France in WWII. There are “package ticket deals” for folks visiting the War Museum and the Museum of Civilization, and like many Ottawa attractions, the War Museum is opened one evening during the week at no cost to visitors. Here’s where you get more information on the Canadian War Museum.
Ottawa offers many more museums. So, do please check back from time to time to see what’s been added.
