A place that symbolizes the search for peace and hope for all humanity.

Named after Canadian War Museum architect Raymond Moriyama, this visually striking space is a meditation on the sacrifices of conflict, as well as humankind’s enduring desire for peace.

The sharply angled walls are lined with Walter Allward’s life-sized plaster maquettes for figures adorning the Vimy Memorial in France. Each representing concepts such as honour, justice and truth, the figures lead to a tightly framed view of the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill.

The large painting Sacrifice, by Charles Sims, hangs on the wall of the upper gallery, reflecting both the cost of conflict and hope for a better world. This popular space also features a soundscape, capturing the sound of the whistling wind.
