On our visit to Canada we were shown this museum. The outside is spectacular due to its strange architecture that seems like a head. In the inside there are totem poles and an IMAX cinema and museum for children. We couldn´t complete the visit because you had to pay but it was a nice experience.
You will have to cross the other side of the river to reach this group of buildings that form the curvilinear ethnographic museum, or museum of civilizations. Here you can get close to the history of Canada and the idiosyncrasies of its natives. You will go through Inuit art, and see spectacular totems, and you will pass through the age of the Vikings and the French colonization and you will arrive to Canada in its current day.
The displays are fantastic, as well as the kid museum located inside. A great place to spend a day.
