Natural history … natural science … natural fun!
The Canadian Museum of Nature, housed in the historic Victoria Memorial Museum Building, is the meeting place for nature's wonders. Canada's foremost natural history museum is ever-changing and lets you discover Canada's natural heritage. See nature up close through unique exhibits, high-definition cinema and daily special programs for kids of all ages. It's a journey you won't soon forget!
Due to the current major renovation of this historic building — which opened to the public in 1912 — some galleries are now closed. Still open are the Animals in Nature Gallery and the Plant Gallery & Nature's Pharmacy as well as the very popular Creepy Critters gallery!Location
