Canadian Museum of CivilisationOne of dozens of museums in Canada's capital region, the Museum
of Civilisation is one of the most fascinating with its artefacts
on display including interesting things such as the world's oldest
known boat, several mummies, and the story of the 'bog people' of
north-western Europe. The museum celebrates the diversity of
humankind and showcases the achievements of cultures, past and
present, using not only exhibits but live performances, giant
