Museum of Civilization

Loved it ! Area is big, clean and spacious enough so we don't bump into other people. We went Saturday March 8th where the theme was wrestling. Life-size cutouts and age appropriate activities were very entertaining for children. They built their own wrestling belts, we were able to dress up for photoshoots and a small acrobatic spectacle was available in the hall. The crew kept the audience captivated and was overall pretty funny to watch. Definitely will come back !

The Museum of Civilization was a fun and informative experience! The temporary exhibitions were fantastic, especially the wrestling exhibition—I really enjoyed it. However, the permanent exhibits were a bit underwhelming. Some areas felt poorly maintained, with missing tags and a confusing chronology that made it harder to follow the narrative. It’s still a great place to visit, but I’d recommend focusing on the temporary exhibitions for the best experience.

The museum is fantastic. Frankly, we did not expect such a variety and interactivity. From wrestling, to Canadian natural history to rap expo the whole family had hours of entertainment.

Huge building but not exactly what I was expecting. There were several exhibitions in different areas, concentrated on very specific things. When I went, it was the indigenous peoples, hip-hop, Trans people, and boxing. Except for items in the first one, mostly it was all digital displays. Still, they were professionally put together, containing interesting information.

This museum goes over many miscellaneous topics and very interesting presentation of each one. I recommend planning to stay at least two hours, ideally 4 if you have the stamina. The wrestling exhibit is AWESOME! We spent almost an hour there alone.nThere is a free coat check which was very organized even when everyone was scrambling to leave at closing.nnMy only complaint is that there is no student discount option which makes the tickets quite expensive.
