The Canadian Museum of History is a Crown corporation established by the Museums Act (Statutes of Canada 1990, Chapter 3). The corporation's primary responsibilities are the management of Canadian Museum of History, the Canadian War Museum and the Virtual Museum of New France. The Canadian Museum of History is recognized as one of the premier cultural facilities of the 20th century, and is home to the Canadian Children's Museum and an IMAX theatre. It houses more than close to 4 million artifacts spanning the disciplines of history, archaeology, folk culture, ethnology, postal communications and various other areas of heritage studies. Formed in 1880 around a local collection of Canadian Militia battlefield mementoes, the Canadian War Museum has since become Canada's national museum of military history. On May 8, 2005 the War Museum reopened in a stunning new building on LeBreton Flats. Through its activities, the corporation practices museological excellence, thereby promoting a greater understanding of Canadian identity, history and culture. In addition to its presence within the National Capital Region, the corporation disseminates its knowledge throughout Canada and the world through its website, travelling exhibitions, conference participation, publications, social media, engagement activities and other forms of outreach. The corporation is a member of the Canadian Heritage Portfolio and reports to Parliament through the Minister of Canadian Heritage. Along with other Portfolio members, the corporation protects and exhibits Canada's heritage for current and future generations. It also plays a vital role in fostering a sense of Canadian identity, reaching a diverse â€“ and growing â€“ audience through its research and public programming activities.
