The Canadian War Museum was designed by Raymond Moriyama of Moriyama & Teshima Architects, jointly with Alex Rankin of Griffiths Rankin Cook Architects. The innovative design is based on the theme of “regeneration,” which brings to mind not only the impact of war on the land but also nature’s ability to regenerate and recover from the devastation of human conflict. The Canadian War Museum opened on May 8, 2005. (Jul to Sept) Daily 9:30 am - 6 pm, Thurs till 8 pm; (Sept to Mar) Daily 9:30 am - 5 pm, Thurs till 8 pm.
