Exterior view of the “Scotiabank Great Hall” of the National Gallery of Canada - Ottawa’s glass palace of art.
Architect Moshe Safdie designed the National Gallery of Canada. In light of the Gallery’s proximity to, and view of, Parliament Hill, Safdie determined that the Gallery absolutely must have a great hall, suitable for formal evening gatherings (of politicians), with a large panoramic window overlooking Canada’s national parliament, the Ottawa River and the Gatineau hills.
Safdie’s vision was certainly realized as the Scotiabank Great Hall - whether viewed from the inside or the outside - is nothing short of spectacular.
