Canada Science and Technology Museum

The museum displays Canadian innovations through extensive collections covering telecommunications, transportation, computing, astronomy, medicine, agriculture, and manufacturing technologies. The exhibition spaces are organized to let visitors move through different subject areas at their own pace.

The museum was established in 1967 as a branch of the National Museum of Canada and became independent in 1968. Its creation came during a period when Canada sought to highlight its technological contributions to the world.

The exhibitions show how scientific and technological advances have shaped everyday life in Canada. Visitors can see through interactive displays how inventions changed the way people work and communicate.

The building is laid out in a way that makes it easy to find your way around and see all the main areas. Guided tours are available in English and French, and there are classrooms and theaters for different programs throughout the day.

The collection holds around 60,000 objects, including original locomotives that show the evolution of Canadian railways. These large vehicles often surprise visitors who are not expecting to encounter such scale inside the building.
