Located in the heart
of
downtown Ottawa, the Bytown Museum explores
the stories of an
evolving city and its
residents from its early
days as Bytown to
present day Ottawa.
Housed in Ottawa's
oldest stone building,
the Museum is located at
the Rideau Canal locks
between Parliament Hill
and the Château
Laurier—one of the most
picturesque sites in the
city.
Join us for family
events, new exhibits and
daily programs and
guided tours. A
six-language audio-tour,
available in English,
French, German, Spanish,
Mandarin and Japanese,
is included with the
admission ticket.
