We went to the Museum of Civilization. It features the First Nations people from the beginning of their Canadian history. Each Canadian tribe has an in depth display of their culture built and donated by the tribes -totem poles, longhouses, costumes, tools, etc. Many beautiful carved bone and argalite stone pieces, woven baskets,fur and woolen clothing and jewellery. Many artists are featured along side of their creations.
Also featured in a seperate display was the Mystery of the Tombs of Egypt, including real mummies, carvings off of some of the pyramids, ancient cosmetic bottles and stone jewellery. Yet another informative day !!
