Can’t get to the Museum? We can bring the Museum to you!
This thought-provoking series of virtual tours, featuring insights from Canadian War Museum historians, explores centuries of military conflict brought to life through the Museum’s evocative architecture and exhibitions.
First in the series is an introductory tour narrated by the Museum’s President and CEO, Caroline Dromaguet. In subsequent tours, historians share stories about Canadian Experience Galleries and LeBreton Gallery objects — such as a First World War teddy bear and a vehicle that was destroyed by an IED in Afghanistan — and invite viewers into the Museum’s meditative spaces, which include Memorial Hall, the Royal Canadian Legion Hall of Honour, and Moriyama Regeneration Hall.
