Canadian Museum of Civilization
The Corporation's primary responsibilities are the management of Canada's national museum of human history, the Canadian Museum of Civilization (CMC), Canada's national museum of military heritage, the Canadian War Museum (CWM), and a virtual museum on the Web, the Museum of New France (VMNF). The Canadian Museum of Civilization is recognized as one of the premier cultural facilities of the twentieth century, and is home to the Canadian Postal Museum, the Canadian Children's Museum, and an IMAX® theatre. It houses more than 3.75 million artifacts spanning the disciplines of history, archaeology, folk culture, ethnology, postal communications and various other areas of heritage study. Formed in 1880 around a local collection of Canadian Militia battlefield mementoes, the Canadian War Museum has since become Canada's national museum of military history. On May 8, 2005 the Museum reopened in a stunning new building on LeBreton Flats.
