September 2, 2010



As promised, starting today, I'll share with you some pictures of the Canadian Museum of Nature. It was recently re-opened after several years of renovations, which resulted in updated exhibitions and this really awesome addition called the Queens Lantern.

I went on a Thursday night which is good because it is free from 5 pm to 8 pm, but is bad because well, there are A LOT of families, children, and tourists running around. Needless to say, this did not make picture taking the easiest!

So to start at the beginning, here is possibly the most noticeable change to the museum, the Queens Lantern. Named in honor of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II, this glass lantern replaced a tower that used to be there, but was removed because it was sinking. It's really quite beautiful and it brings so much light into the museum.
