Canada Hall

mp3 (611Kb)

Under a domed ceiling 17 m high (56 ft.), a panorama of Canadian history unfolds in a space more than 3,000 square metres (32,293sq. ft.) in area. Life-size settings of buildings and environments from the history of Canada are reconstructed, furnished with appropriate artifacts, and often animated by actors.

Explore the first phase of the Canada Hall through the interactive floorplan. Or, if you prefer, take a QuickTime VR tour of the Canada Hall.
