Moriyama Tribute Campaign

On October 16, 2021, the Canadian War Museum proudly paid tribute to the Museum’s architect, Raymond Moriyama, in a moving ceremony attended by his family and friends. In addition to officially renaming one of its key spaces the Moriyama Regeneration Hall, the Museum unveiled an elegant tribute wall celebrating the architect and his vision.

We extend our most sincere appreciation to the Moriyama family and all the donors who generously supported the Moriyama Tribute Campaign.
