About this activity

Love history? Then you might just want to check out the Canadian War Museum! Its at this fascinating attraction that you can discover the military history of Canada through a vast collection of artifacts, moving personal stories, works of art, and unforgettable photography. 

It's a wonderful learning experience, as you explore the human conflicts that have shaped Canada, Canadians and the world. 

There are a number of exhibits within the museum that you can visit, each covering a different topic.

The highlight of any visit is the Museum’s extensive permanent exhibition, which chronicles Canada’s military past from ancient times to the contemporary period.

Another exhibit depicts the South Africa and First World Wars. You can even go back further and learn about the early wars in Canada.  

The museum is also home to a number of special exhibitions that rotate, so keep an eye on the dates because they are only on display for a few months at a time. Plus, it gives you something new to see every time you go back and visit again!
