Ottawa, Canada
National Gallery of Canada
A glass tower above the Ottawa river, guarded by Louise Bourgeois' giant spider.
Moshe Safdie's crystalline great hall echoes the parliamentary library across the water. Inside: the strongest Canadian and Indigenous collection in the country, plus Maman, the nine-metre bronze spider outside.
