Canadian War Museum: Skip-the-Line

Ottawa

Visit the Canadian War Museum and witness Canada's rich military history showcased through amazing artifacts, artwork, personal stories, photos, and interactive presentations. Tour the extensive permanent exhibitions and expand your knowledge of the conflicts that shaped Canada, Canadians, and the world. Rest and reflect in Memorial Hall, and discover the Museum's fascinating architectural theme. The War Museum’s four Canadian Experience Galleries are organized chronologically, from the earliest times to the most recent military operations. Each gallery highlights the ways in which past events have shaped Canada and Canadians, the brutal realities of organized human conflict, and the importance of remembrance and understanding. The exhibitions use the human experience of war — told mainly through the personal stories, artifacts, and the recollections of ordinary Canadians — to engage visitors in a personal dialogue about their country, its past, and its prospects.
