The Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Quebec is right across the river from Canada’s Parliament Buildings. It was designed by famous Canadian architect Douglas Cardinal, who also designed the Museum of the American Indian in Washington.

The building has absolutely no straight edges, it is made entirely with curves (even inside). There is also more copper in it then any other building in the world.

Parliament Hill is the seat of power for the Government of Canada. The white dome to the north is covering the Library of Parliament which is currently being restored. The library was built in 1876 and is the only part of the parliament that survived a fire in 1916.

To the front of the building you can see the shadow cast by the Peace Tower, a memorial to those Canadians who died in World War I.
