Did
You Know?
The Canadian
Museum of Civilization has the world's largest indoor collection of totem
poles.
The Museum
is wired for global outreach. If you were to lay out the fibre optic cables,
they would go around the globe 20 times.
At over
one million square feet (100,000 square metres), the Canadian Museum of
Civilization is one of the world's largest museums.
In the
near future, the Canadian Museum of Civilization will put 150,000 images
of its collections on the web. It is also digitizing 500 artifacts using
a unique 3-d colour imaging system invented in Canada. It's one way that
the Museum will bring the nation's heritage to its people.
Canada's
History Comes to Life
The
Museum has three major galleries presenting permanent exhibitions where
sound, images, and treasures from the collections create memorable impressions
of our nation's colourful past.
-
The Grand
Hall celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the aboriginal peoples from
the Pacific Northwest Coast of Canada. Designed in cooperation with Native
elders and artisans, it features totem poles, cedar plank houses and artifacts
from six different coastal nations.
-
The Canada
Hall transports visitors on a journey through Canada's past. Large-scale
settings vividly portray key periods in Canadian history from the arrival
of Norse adventurers around the year 1000 right up to the settlement of
western Canada in the twentieth century.
-
The First
People's Hall showcases the rich diversity of First People's cultures and
celebrates aboriginal contributions to the world. The Museum always has
temporary exhibitions on archaeology, history, folk culture and ethnology.
Some are created at the Museum, others are borrowed from around the world.
Public
Programs and Theatre
The
Canadian Museum of Civilization has a full-time theatre company. Costumed
characters use drama and humour to bring history and cultural heritage
to life.
There
is also an extensive, ongoing program of music, dance and film, often with
an international flavour.
The
giant-screen Theatre presents large format films in the
IMAX® Theatre.
