For instance, you can stay warm and toasty while checking out the exhibitions in the city's national museums and galleries. The Ottawa Art Gallery recently moved into spacious new quarters—five times the size of its old building—near the University of Ottawa and the Rideau Centre shopping mall in the city's core. The gallery is home to both historical and contemporary pieces by local and Canadian artists. In early 2018, the Le Germain Ottawa hotel is scheduled to open in the same complex. At the National Gallery of Canada, the current major exhibition is James Wilson Morrice: The A.K. Prakash Collection in Trust to the Nation (until March 18). Collector and philanthropist A.K. Prakash recently donated these 45 paintings and four water- colours to the gallery. The collection covers much of the Canadian modernist artist's career. Visitors can also see a wide range of the gallery's recent contemporary art acqui- sitions during the fourth Canadian Biennial (also until March 18). In 2017, the Canadian War Museum updated its gallery focusing on recent his- tory to include artifacts related to Canada's involvement in the Gulf War and in con- flicts in Somalia, Rwanda, the former Yugoslavia and Afghanistan. The museum is also hosting an exhibition called She Who Tells a Story: Women Photographers From Iran and the Arab World (until March 4). Unveiled in June 2017, the permanent Canada Goose Arctic Gallery at the Canadian Museum of Nature gives visitors a vivid peek into the ecosystems, geography and people of Canada's North. The entrance to the 743- square-metre gallery opens with a multimedia installation called Beyond Ice evoking the region through audio record- ings, video projections and real ice.
