Canadian Museum of Nature
14 Million Specimens of Hardcore Science The Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa is a must-visit national treasure—a Tudor Gothic architectural marvel that traces its roots back to 1853 (originally the Geological Survey of Canada Museum) and opened to the public in 1912. 🔬 Why It's Special: • 14 MILLION specimens showcasing Canada’s unique ecosystems • Paleontology Hall features 85% real fossilized dinosaur skeletons (including Canadian icons like ankylosaurs and Edmontosaurus), with some exhibits preserving original excavation sites • Arctic Gallery powerfully documents Inuit history and climate impacts on polar bears/seals—a rare, eye-opening perspective many museums overlook 🦕 Pro Tip: The dino displays are next-level—you can practically hear the T. rex roar! The interactive evolution timeline is perfect for kids (and curious adults). 📍 Canadian Museum of Nature #MuseumPower #DinoLovers #NatureWins #OttawaMustSee #ScienceIsCool #FossilHunter #ArcticAwareness #CanadianHistory #NaturalWonders #FamilyFieldTrip
