Museum of Civilization
Lens: Pentax 15 mm DA LTD Camera: Pentax K-01 Photo Location: Gatineau 
Posted By: fotogaffer, 03-18-2013, 07:54 PM

If you ever visit Ottawa, you have to go see the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau across the Ottawa River. The building inside is quite spectacular with an abstract painting The Morning Star in the domed ceiling seven stories above the floor of the Grand Hall. The contrast of sweeping curves of the balconies and straight escalators is enthralling. This is definitely one time I wish I owned that 10-17 fisheye! The 15 was just a little tight for the job!

Nice shots! I have been there as well and can say that it is an impressive place. That hall is wonderful and the painting has quite a presence. Thanks for posting those!

Both nice, but I wouldn't mind having that second one on my wall. Great composition and superb lines, love the colors.
