Canadian Museum of Civilization

The Canadian Museum of Civilization is one of the largest museums in Canada. It is located on Laurier Avenue, in the city of Quebec. The museum is part of the system of museums of Ottawa, the capital of the state.

The museum opened in 1968. The result was the division of the Canadian Museum into the Museum of Man and the Museum of Nature. The museum has had its current name since 1986, and in the current new building the museum has been located since 1989.

The Civilization Museum also includes the Children's Museum and the Postal Museum. The exposition of the institution is represented by halls dedicated to the culture of the indigenous peoples of Canada, as well as the history of the state, since its colonization. The museum holds more than a million exhibits.

The museum building is made in a modern style, with glass facades and domed, minarets-like parts of the roof.
