Hello, the War Museum is located a fairly good walk from the ByWard market. It is however only approximately 10 minutes by car. The War Museum offers a senior rate of $13.00 plus taxes. Hope to see you soon!

Thank you for your interest in visiting the Canadian War Museum. The Museum's architectural themes includes various symbolisms and details such as: -Designed to highlight the theme of regeneration, the Museum emerges slowly from the landscape. Its grass-covered roof and low profile remind us of nature’s ability to recover from the devastation of war and human conflict. -Angled walls give visitors a sense of the instability of war. -The towering Regeneration Hall is pierced with windows depicting the words “Lest we forget / N’oublions jamais” in Morse code. And many more. To learn more about the architecture of the building, I would suggest your participate in a guided tour (inquire at the Box Office). The tour covers the architectural details and symbolism of the Museum, along with key highlights in the permanent exhibitions. Hope to see you soon!
