Museum of Civilization

Today is Friday and, after a week of hard work, we've finished classes
earlier. After lunch we have visited one of the best museums in
Canada: the Museum of Civilization at Gatineau.

The museum is divided into 2 sections: permanent and temporary
exhibitions. This time of the year they have an exhibition on Japan
which explains the local culture and traditions of that country.
Probably the best is on the 3rd floor where they have the Canada Hall:
it recreates life in different parts of this large and diverse
country.
Worth mentioning is also the exhibits on Artica and what they call
"First peoples" (the native Canadians).
To sum up: a great dose of culture!
