But it’s also our national capital, home to Parliament, the National Gallery, National Arts Centre, several post-secondary institutions, the Governor-General and Prime Minister’s residences, posh Rockcliffe, a collection of first-rate museums. the National War Memorial – and it boasts low unemployment.

Within the building – a fine cafe and restaurant, research facility, two rooftop terraces, and five times the space the gallery once had. OTTAWA Art Gallery hours – 9 am to 9 pm. Architects – KPMB
