A work by the Mata Aho Collective, part of Ëbadakone, an exhibit of contemporary Indigenous art, is seen at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. The column, which is made of marine rope, was made by four women artists using a customary Maori twining technique, and was eventually finished on site at the gallery.

The National Gallery of Canada (French: Musée des beaux-arts du Canada), located in the capital city of Ottawa, Ontario, is Canada's national art museum. The museum's building takes up 46,621 square metres (501,820 sq ft), with 12,400 square metres (133,000 sq ft) of space used for exhibiting art; making the museum one of the largest art museums in North America by exhibition space.
The institution was established in 1880 at the Second Supreme Court of Canada building, and moved to the Victoria Memorial Museum building in 1911. In 1913, the Government of Canada passed the National Gallery Act, formally outlined the institution's mandate as a national art museum. The museum was moved to the Lorne building in 1960. In 1988, the museum was relocated to its present location. The National Gallery of Canada is situated in a glass and granite building on Sussex Drive with a notable view of the Canadian Parliament buildings on Parliament Hill. The building was designed by Moshe Safdie and opened in 1988.
The museum's permanent collection includes over 93,000 works from European, American, and Asian, Canadian, and indigenous Canadian artists. In addition to exhibiting works from its permanent collection, the museum also organizes and hosts a number of travelling exhibitions.

Le Musée des beaux-arts du Canada (en anglais : National Gallery of Canada), situé à Ottawa, capitale du pays, est l'un des premiers musées du Canada.
Situé sur la promenade Sussex, le bâtiment de verre et de granite jouit d'une superbe vue sur le Parlement canadien et la colline du Parlement. Il a été dessiné par Moshe Safdie et a ouvert ses portes en 1988. La précédente directrice du musée, Jean Sutherland Boggs, fut choisie par le Premier ministre Pierre Trudeau pour superviser la construction du bâtiment.
Le musée fut fondé en 1880, par le gouverneur général du Canada, le marquis de Lorne, dont la femme, la princesse Louise était artiste. En 1882, le musée est installé dans sa première demeure sur la colline du Parlement dans le même bâtiment que la Cour suprême. En 1911 on le déplace au Victoria Memorial Museum, qui est aujourd'hui le musée canadien de la nature. En 1962, nouveau déménagement dans un bâtiment de Elgin Street à proximité de la haute commission britannique. Son dernier déménagement, dans ses locaux actuels sur Sussex Drive date de 1988. En 1985, le nouveau musée canadien de la photographie contemporaine, anciennement Photography Division of the National Film Board of Canada, est alors affilié au Musée des beaux-arts.
