The walkway up to the War Museum's permanent collection features banners going back in history of Canadians at arms.
A central hub is here, with images of what's to come- the Museum's galleries are organized chronologically.
The first gallery starts from the beginnings of time up to the late 19th century. Armed conflict in Canada starts with the indigenous peoples, and so the Museum's focus begins there.
Reproduction weapons of Indigenous warriors are at left, while a model of an Iroquois village is at right.
The village and its surroundings are very detailed, with interpretive panels explaining life both in peace and in war for Iroquois people.
Gorgeous captures!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWars and weapons have accompanied mankind since ever.
ReplyDeleteIt seems part of our nature.
DeleteSince there are humans they say "Never again" ! And wars continue through all centuries ! Since I am born there always had been a war somewhere, that's more than sad !
ReplyDeleteThat is true.
DeleteYou actually have a museum just for war? That is something unusual
ReplyDeleteIt's one of several national museums in the area.
DeleteThe Canadian War Museum should be a reminder not to have any more wars. Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThe museum serves its purpose well.
DeleteWhat a world it would be if nations did indeed study war no more.
ReplyDeleteWe have to be aware of it.
DeleteI am afraid that remembrance of war is often the incitement to the next one.
ReplyDeleteIt sometimes seems that way.
DeleteALSTOM today asked to help Ukraine again - let´s hope for all wars ending soon... now?
ReplyDeleteOne way to end that one is someone putting a couple of well placed rounds into the head of that little man in Moscow.
DeleteA nice presentation but it's a pity it's all about war.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but I think it's a subject we can't ignore.
Delete...life is littered with conflicts!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is true.
DeleteHumans always seem to be fighting.
ReplyDeleteIt's in our nature.
DeleteThose banners are impressive.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.
DeleteWow ~ inside the War Museum is more amazing and great photos ~

Thank you.
DeleteI would like to see the Iroquois village. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
Deletei like how they've set it up in your photos, I've seen something similar at Waitangi at Paihia, it was a bit more interesting than normal displays.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good way to introduce things.
DeleteWar, there's always one going on somewhere in the world.
ReplyDeleteSo it appears.
DeleteI was thinking the same as Bill.
ReplyDeleteI do wish there were no wars, and we could all live together peaceably.
All the best Jan
If only.
DeleteFascinating

DeleteSince ancient times, war is still being fought.
