Fun Facts

The Canadian Museum of History is the Canada’s most-visited Museum.

Four natural features are thus represented, in the abstract, in the Museum's form: the Canadian Shield, the glaciers, the streams formed by the melting glacial ice, and the Great Plains that stretched before the receding glaciers.

The total floor space of the Museum is approximately 100,000 square metres (over one million square feet). The Museum holds over 4.2 million artifacts in its vaults. From this number, only 1 to 3% is displayed in the Museum’s exhibitions.
