The Canadian Museum of History is one of Canada’s oldest public institutions, with roots stretching back to 1856. Today, this internationally recognized institution welcomes thousands of visitors every year to its riverfront complex, where it houses a collection of more than four million objects.
During the 21st century, the Canadian Museum of Civilization continued to evolve and expand its collection, actively fostering a greater understanding of the people, histories, and cultures in what is now Canada. In 2013, it was rebranded the Canadian Museum of History with a renewed mandate. Today, it offers an immersive journey across 20,000 years of human history through engaging exhibits and activities, both on site and online.
