On November 15th it was a Thursday and Thursdays are the days museums in Ottawa are opened until 8 p.m and the entrance fee is free from 5 p.m. on, so we decided it was a good day to visit the famous National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.
The building in itself is a work of art, but the different items we saw were also definitely worth a visit. As you can see the building has a giant bronze spider which is the gallery's most expensive object. It is part of a series of six spiders in all designed by the renowned Franco-American artist Louise Bourgeois as a tribute to her mother.
We also saw beautiful paintings like these.
There are also characteristic items designed by Canadian artists to represent one of the most popular free time activity carried out by its citizens.
Canadians have an Ice Fishing Championship on Lake Simcoe, the most popular ice fishing spot in North America.
