This is a really nice museum in terms of the building and the ONE exhibit we could find about the indigenous people was really good. Nice gift shop. Couldn't figure out where the rest of the exhibits were, if there were any.

A very positive learning experience in an attractively architected building. The exhibit on First Nations was outstanding. I appreciated the creative use of videos and gained an understanding of current challenges. I also toured the exhibition Our Time On Earth, which I found very informative and a great example of the incredible use of technology. There is a classy gift shop with a wide selection. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Excellent museum with 3 major exhibits at this time. One was on the science of gender in all of its variations, another was on the history and treatment of Indigenous peoples, and the last on dealing with climate change. Each was very well done. A beautiful museum. It also occurred to me that in the USA it would be considered incredibly “woke” and might make certain people very unhappy or even angry. That would be a shame. Regardless, these exhibits demonstrated that parts of our history (and current realities) are uncomfortable, but they can’t be swept under the rug.

MUSEUM OF CIVILIZATION This was a wonderful place to spend a few hours on a rainy day. The museum is well organized and the different exhibits were very well done. The one on climate change and the amazing innovations in science and industry left us feeling more aware and hopeful. Well worth the time.

This museum is engaging for both adults and kids. We started in the basement where there is a huge walk through house for the kids to play in. They spent a lot of time there. They even enjoyed the First People’s exhibit and the nature exhibit which had a place to color. It is hard to navigate so I’m not sure we saw everything. The current temporary exhibit in Gender is explicit- I wish there was a warning. I’m not a prude and I’m fine talking about gender identity but the kids saw private parts and wanted to leave. Other than that exhibit, it’s a great place the entire family can enjoy.

From the outside, this is a very brutal looking building but this contrasts with the exhibitions within. Very helpful staff to guide us round, free coat check. The First Nations area was stunning, with fabulous stories and films. The gender exhibition was fascinating and really explained the difficulties of what seemed to be very confused people. The Barbican exhibits about Our Time on Earth were our favourite. Of course we know our earth is in peril but not sure this offered many solutions. One suggestion was ‘travel less’ which seemed strange for a museum that we’d all travelled to from England and an exhibit that had come all the way from London! We learned a lot from all the parts we visited. We exited through the (great) gift shop …

Great fun. Not a mainstream museum, which beforehand worried me a bit. The exhibits were wrestling, hip hop and (a small one) Quebec law. The first two were surprisingly interesting for me, someone w zero interest in those specific topics. But it’s more about the history and individuals than the topics per se. Great curation/ museum design
