 Canada has a unique geography, a unique history, and unique stories. At Ingenium, we showcase Canada's stories of science and innovation. Behind these walls, objects are brought to life by the stories that shape them, by their creators, their users, by the lessons we can learn from them. We celebrate those who dare to think differently. Their stories reflect our nation's drive to learn, to adapt, to discover, and to create. Our collection preserves the stories of our nation's heritage. We are home to millions of artifacts and archival documents, spanning soil to space and everything in between. There is no other collection like ours in the world. It showcases Canada's instrumental contributions to science and innovation. Artifacts are a gateway to understanding the world in a new way. What may look like an ordinary water sample is a specimen of the oldest known flowing water on Earth, dating back over a billion years. We are safeguarding more than the artifacts in our care. We are preserving with respect the stories of their users and their creators. We embrace the knowledge of equity-deserving communities by collaborating with them to uncover new stories about our collection. This Algonquin-style birch bark canoe dates back centuries. It is an example of master craftsmanship of the Anishinaabeg Algonquin people and represents identity, history, culture, and language. The dome mine carries over 100 years of mining history. Inscriptions on this mine door mark moments in time made important by the miners who left them, from a first snow to historic events. Spanning transportation, physical sciences, medicine, communications, agriculture, and natural resources, our collection signals wide-reaching impacts from redefining the way we measure time to launching modern satellite broadcast technology, increasing access to Canada's remote northern areas. Whether the first, the oldest, the largest, or the smallest of their kind, there is no limit to what you can discover in our collection. Our stories can inspire amazement, a time and place to rediscover Canada's contribution to the world.
