[edit] Not in Ottawa, but...

If any part of Gatineau could be also said to be in Ottawa, I think this is it. The categories certainly seem to bear this out.

However, how do we keep this distinction clear to casual visitors? I doubt anyone will suddenly be looking for this on the south side of the river, but I think accuracy needs a hand here.

[edit] photo

Correction

The legend under the third and last photo incorrectly names the museum as the "Canadian Museum of Civilization". The legend should read: "Canadian Children's Museum" which the first picture shows as being directly west of the former.

The above comment was left on the main article page by a user who appears to not understand the function of the talk page.-Dhodges 05:56, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the comment, which reappeared on June 25. Not only is the article an inappropriate place to put such a comment, the comment is also inaccurate. The third picture (Civilzation.jpg) in fact shows the main entrance of the Canadian Museum of Civilization. The Canadian Children's Museum is contained within the walls of the Canadian Museum of Civilization, but is actually on the opposite side of the building from the side depicted in the photograph.
The first picture shows the main museum building on the left and the curatorial building on the right, despite the confusing message that the anonymous user has twice added to the page. Canadiana 21:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
