Description
The Canada War Museum marks 20 years in its purpose-built home this week, and if you haven't walked through the hall with the jet and the tanks, it's time to change that.
From a working Lancaster bomber in Hamilton to an entire museum dedicated to gophers in Torrington, Alberta, the country is packed with places that make history feel like something you're standing inside.
The Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg, the Royal Tyrrell's dinosaur fossils in the badlands, the Royal BC Museum's 1920s street recreation. This is the list.
