An Aviary

 Ground was broken in 1905 for the building of what is now the Canadian Museum of Nature.

The Geological Survey of Canada set up shop here, including exhibition space.

Early on, it would serve another space. With the destruction by fire of the original Centre Block on Parliament Hill, the building housed a temporary Parliament while the rebuild was on.

Wilfrid Laurier, who had done much in bringing the project to life, laid in state here after his death.

The next gallery space is the Bird Gallery. Many of the display cases are organized thematically.
