National Gallery of Canada

"This impressive landmark designed by Canadian architect Moshe Safdie as a contemporary reflection of the classic architecture of Parliament Hill, which it faces across the Rideau Canal, is the country's national gallery and looks the part. It's grand, light and houses an impressive collection—think French Impressionists, Dutch masters, and works from the Italian Renaissance, plus a great selection of modern and contemporary Canadian art—and plays hosts to blockbuster traveling exhibitions, too." - Todd Plummer, Isa Tousignant
