The Canadian Museum of History (CMH; French: Musée canadien de l’histoire) is Canada's national museum of human history. It is located in the Hull area of Gatineau, Quebec, directly across the Ottawa River from Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario. The museum's primary purpose is to collect, study, preserve, and present material objects that illuminate the human history of Canada and the cultural diversity of its people.
Formerly the Canadian Museum of Civilization (French: Musée canadien des civilisations), the name of the museum was changed in 2013 to the Canadian Museum of History. CMH is also home to the Canadian Children's Museum.
In addition to the CMH, the Canadian Museum of History corporation is responsible for the operation of two other museums: the Canadian War Museum and the Virtual Museum of New France.
