The National Gallery of Canada (French: Musée des beaux arts du Canada), located in the capital city Ottawa, Ontario, is one of Canada's premier art galleries. [1]
The Gallery is housed in a glass and granite building on Sussex Drive with a notable view of the Canadian Parliament buildings on Parliament Hill. The acclaimed structure was designed by Moshe Safdie and opened in 1988.[2] The Gallery's former director Jean Sutherland Boggs was chosen especially by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to oversee construction of the national gallery and museums.[3]
Marc Mayer was named the museum's director, succeeding Pierre Théberge, on December 8, 2008.
My words:
The National Gallery of Canada shows a magnificant visual of structure of an architecture. As the walls and windows are transparent, audience can see what are the components inside the building clearly. The design inside the building are also interesting, especially the ceiling, with many triangle shaped things standing in a circle and stack on top of each other.
