O knihe

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.
