National Gallery of Canada

National Gallery of Canada

National Gallery of Canada houses 130,000 square feet of galleries as well as facilities for educational programs, conservation, art storage, and administration.

The National Gallery was conceived as a civic destination marking the country’s prestigious collection of national art and treasures. The impressive museum collection is organized by a network of glazed ceremonial and processional spaces expressing activity to the exterior, and linking a series of large scale, day-lit exhibition halls.

The Gallery is located in one of the most spectacular sites in Ottawa – along Ottawa’s historic ByWard Market, overlooking the Ottawa River and the Canadian Parliament Buildings. Its award-winning architecture, featuring the luminous Great Hall, spacious galleries, and interior gardens and courtyards, is itself worth the visit.
