    The museum's origins date back to before the founding of Canada, as it evolved from the Geological and Natural History Museum established in 1856.

    The current building on the Ottawa River opened on June 29, 1989. It is considered an architectural masterpiece, though it has been criticized for its high cost. Designed by Douglas Cardinal, its design incorporates numerous elements of Indigenous cultures.

    Overall, it is a highly recommended museum with a real wow factor, even for children.
