Anyway can say that Ottawa is full of great museums, but everyone knows and talks about the Museum of Civilization and the National Art Gallery, but lesser known is the wonderful Canadian Museum of Nature. The building itself has four floors and is quite unique, resembling a castle of sorts. The entrance is also splattered with stained glass and millions of tiles in various animal shapes. Last summer the Governor General David Johnston attended a volunteer event at the Museum of Nature and remarked on the beautiful setting. As part of Ottawa's "Winterlude", the next exhibition at the museum is on from February 1-18 and showcases giant photographs from the Arctic. It also has ongoing educational workshops and 3D movies on a wide range of nature-related topics. For only $12, a trip to this museum is definitely a day well spent.
