Produktbeschreibung

The Canadian War Museum (CWM) (Musée canadien de la guerre (MCG)) is Canada s national museum of military history. Located in Ottawa, Ontario, the museum focuses on military conflicts that occurred on Canadian soil, involved Canadian forces, or had a significant effect on the country and its people. The conflicts range from early warfare among First Peoples to today s war on terror. Much of the museum s public exhibition space is devoted to its Canadian Experience Galleries. These permanent exhibitions underline the profound effect war has had on Canada s development and the significant role Canadians have played in international conflicts. The galleries also devote much attention to war s impact on individuals: to what it calls the devastating human experience of war. Complementing the permanent galleries is a changing program of temporary or special exhibitions. The CWM also houses the Military History Research Centre, a large collection of war art, and an extensive collection of military vehicles and artillery. The CWM originated in 1880. Its current building opened in May 2005 is located less than 2 km west of Canada s Parliament Buildings.
