Description

The Canadian Children's Museum is located inside the Canadian Museum of History, in Gatineau, Quebec. The CCM is among the most popular museums in the country, attracting about half a million visitors each year. It is also Canada's largest exhibition centre designed specifically for children up to age 14 and their adult companions. Most of the space is devoted to the museum's permanent exhibition, The Great Adventure. The CCM also presents a changing line-up of special exhibitions curated internally or acquired from other institutions.The Children's Museum is managed by the Canadian Museum of History Corporation, a federal Crown Corporation that is also responsible for the Canadian Museum of History, the Canadian War Museum, the Canadian Postal Museum, and the Virtual Museum of New France.The Great AdventureThe museum describes its permanent exhibition, The Great Adventure, as an interactive, intercultural journey of discovery. With a museum-issued passport and a good imagination, visitors can travel to Nigeria, Japan, India, Mexico, Indonesia and other international destinations. They can visit a kid's café, stroll through a market bazaar, trek across a desert, and help unload a cargo ship. They can also step aboard a brightly decorated bus from Pakistan, which is perhaps the museum's most beloved artifact. The CCM says its overall goal is to provide a fun, hands-on environment in which children can learn about the world and its cultural diversity.
