What Mom Saw

When Mom was in Ottawa on her vacation,
she visited a most interesting museum.
 This is located across the Ottawa River
 in Gatineau,Quebec
This fountain is just to the side of the main entrance.
You can see the Ottawa River in the background
 as well as the Parliament Building(tall steeple
known as the Peace Tower) in Ottawa, Ontario


The fountain viewed from below.


Inside on the first floor is the "First Peoples Hall"
 This sculpture is on the back of our
$20 dollar bill.


It was created by Bill Reid and is called


Just a tiny bit of the things Mom saw 
on her vacation.

We hope Cats were included at the museum, humans are just uncouth savages without us Cats' influence.

Our mom LOVES going there! It's the most awesome spot to be, just wonderful. She once saw a special exhibit of kimonos, a man's life's work--they were of a landscape scene through the seasons. It was a Japanese man who did this art and it was beyond imagining, truly gorgeous.

Did your mom take pics of that glorious ceiling, as you head up the stairs? The last time our mom was there with her dad, a couple of years ago, she lay on the steps and took pic after pic! :-)

Oh dear! We are Canadian but we are ashamed to say we've never been. (To be fair, we are Torontonians...) Perhaps we'll check it out when we travel over to Canada next year - it looks worth the visit!
