The Canadian Museum of Civilization in Hull, across
the river from the Parliament Buildings, is one of
Canada's top museums. Especially noteworthy are its
exhibits on Aboriginal Peoples, its reconstructions of
Canadian life throughout history, and its IMAX/OmniMax
cinema. The museum was designed by Alberta architect
Douglas Cardinal, whose buildings are noted for their
flowing curves and few straight lines. © 1999 Richard McGuire
