Most people know the NCR's Canadian Museum of History (Civilization) and Canadian Museum of Nature, but the Canadian War Museum seems underappreciated, in part because of its relatively isolated location in LeBreton Flats. Development of the Flats, Zibi, along with moving Canada Day celebrations to Bluesfest Park during Centre Block renovations, might change that in the coming years.

The building was commissioned by the Chrétien Government to replace the cramped quarters on Sussex Drive, which had originally been built as the Dominion Archives. Designed by Moriyama & Teshima Architects, it was completed in 2005.
