Ottawa, ON, May 21, 2010 — Museum-rich Ottawa is home to a number of Canadian symbols, with collections of international significance. Time and geology took a heavy toll on the century-old Canadian Museum of Nature, just a short mile's walk southeast from Parliament Hill. After over $200 million of restoration work - on what some nicknamed 'the sinking castle' - this iconic destination promises to be a top visitor attraction once more.
