The Canadian Museum of Civilization will soon become the Canadian Museum of History. Be part of its creation!

Families, Big and Small

All over the world, people exchange news and ideas in different ways. This reconstruction of a Hausa household from northern Nigeria highlights oral traditions, music, and how extended families often live together. Listen to West African folktales, try on traditional clothing, grind corn, or learn to play the talking drums.
