Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA)
If you care about architecture at all, this is the one unmissable institution. The CCA is a globally important architecture museum, and the building itself — Peter Rose's 1989 design embracing the restored Shaughnessy House — is a masterclass in contextual modern design. Don't skip the sculpture garden across the street, with its fragments reading the city's history.
A world-class architecture museum and research centre, wrapped around the preserved 1874 Shaughnessy House — the architect's pilgrimage in this city.
