Publisher's Synopsis
The Canadian Museum of Civilization opened to the public in 1989 on the north bank of the Ottawa River opposite Parliament Hill. Designed by architect Douglas J. Cardinal, its natural forms echo Canada's geological past when wind, water, and ice shaped the landscape. In this book renowned architectural photographer Malak takes the reader on a photographic tour of the museum complex, depicting first the spectacular architecture, then the innovative exhibitions and programs that display and interpret Canada's cultural heritage.
