How wonderful is the Museum of Civilization!?! (sorry pictures are in reverse order). We were there from about 10 to 6 and didn’t see everything. Thank goodness they had an electric scooter for Jack. Special exhibit was ancient artifacts from China. 2000 years before the periods – unbelievable how sophisticated they were. Picture of our favorite sculpture and of a battle axe – no kidding. Great collection of totems, an exhibit on Canadian history and one on the First Nations (aboriginals). All very well done. Newest exhibit is tete a tete with Canadians who made great contributions. So-so. Hard to relate when it’s not your country I decided. On the other hand the Canadian history isn’t that different than America’s in many ways. Had lunch at the Café de Musee. Pretty good but a little trendy for our tastes. I did have a salad with a maple vingerette – yummy. Beautiful place with gorgeous view of Parliament and Ottawa River. So we are pooped to say the least. We bought a pass for 10 museums and we want to see Parliament so will be here through Saturday.
