Tree Ornament – Morse Code Collection

This tree ornament, part of our Canadian War Museum Collection, showcases the museum’s striking angled architecture, designed to create a sense of imbalance. This disorienting effect symbolizes the instability and chaos of war.

There is also a series of small window sat the top of the building. Some are short. Others are long. They represent letters in Morse code and are arranged in a way that conveys “Lest we forget” in English and “N’oublions jamais” in French.
