Must see in Ottawa


This summer the National Gallery of Canada is featuring the largest Indigenous International Art Exhibit ever mounted entitled SAKAHÀN. It is a modern contemporary art exhibit. See  www.gallery.ca

At the same time the NGC is doing some much needed renovations to the Great Hall, this video shows how an artist was able to transform the Great Hall into a  gigantic Iceberg. It is so big in can be clearly seen some 5 Km away.



To light a fire in the Algonquin National language. The Capital of Canada, Ottawa is built on the lands of the Algonquin people. Making of Ottawa the only capital in the world built on land belonging to another Nation.

The Iceberg is a creation of artist Inuk Silis Hoegh's Iluliaq, a native of Greenland.
