Canada's largest and most popular cultural institution, The Canadian Museum of Civilization presents over 10,000 years of Canada's pre-history, history and culture. The Museum building is an architectural masterpiece -- a symbolic depiction of a land sculpted by winds, waters and glaciers at the end of the Ice Age, when humans first crossed into Canada from Asia.

UPDATED: February 20th, 2011 - Added images with artworks by Bill Reid, notably his sculpture Spirit of Haida Gwaii.
