From colonies to country... Canada revealed.

Canada's heritage is one of diverse cultures and deep roots. Originally influenced by English, French and Aboriginalcultures, and more recently by a mosaic of international ethnicity, the essence of Canadian-ness and its changingemblems and symbols of identity play a key role in placing context around the collections in this growing gallery.
Behold the world of early Canada told through the lens of the rich decorative and pictorial arts produced by theearly settlers from France and Great Britain. Continue the story of Canada's cultural heritage with a growingcontemporary collection reflecting the cultures of successive generations of immigrants. Furniture, historicalartifacts, landscape paintings, portraits, religious artifacts and modern design help us understand where Canadianshave come from, how they lived, the evolving nature of Canadian identity and Canadian-ness, and its ongoingcontribution to the nation's cultural fabric.
