Canada Agriculture Museum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Canada Agriculture Museum (French: Musée de l'agriculture du Canada) in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, houses a modern working farm. Its purpose is to illustrate how advances in farming science and technology have transformed the lives of Canadians. The museum holds exhibits, public programs, special events, and live demonstrations.

While the animal barns are open year round, exhibitions are only on view from March to October of each year. It holds an annual "Sheep Shearing Festival" each May.

It is located off the Prince of Wales Drive at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa.
