The Royal Canadian Legion Hall of Honour

Canada's rich history of honouring and remembrance

At the heart of the permanent exhibition, this gallery explores Canada's long history of honouring individuals, how Canadians have remembered and commemorated their military past. Through personal stories, photographs, art and artifacts, this gallery shares the earliest forms of honouring through burial, painting or dance, to the erection of national monuments, and the role of new technology in current commemorative practices.

This gallery features the model for the National War Memorial by sculptor Vernon March. The original music from the 1939 unveiling in Confederation Square plays in the background.
