The Museum building is an architectural masterpiece -- a symbolic depiction of a land sculpted by winds, waters and glaciers at the end of the Ice Age, when humans first crossed into Canada from Asia. The Japanese garden is a roof garden, designed by Shunmyo Masuno with the theme Wakei No Niwa, a reference to the Japanese and Canadian people. Most of the materials for the garden are from the region with native plants and stone selected from the nearby Gatineau Hills. The design team included Shunmyo Masuno, a Zen Buddhist monk from Japan, Patrick Mooney from University of British Columbia, Ueto Construction from Japan, Massie & Associates Ltd from Hull Quebec and Vaughan Landscape Planning and Design. Other museums nearby include the Canadian Children’s Museum and the Canadian Postal Museum.
