A fair warning to arachnophobes: to enter The National Gallery of Canada, you must cross paths with a 30-foot-tall egg-carrying spider. But fear not, the giant insect isn’t real—it’s Louise Bourgeois’ bronze sculpture Maman, which arrived at the gallery’s front plaza in 2005.

Maman is one of the museum’s nearly 64,000 artworks, including 17,000 pieces from the collection of the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography (currently housed at the Gallery), which trace the history of visual art from the Middle Ages to today with an emphasis on Canadian artists. Along with paintings by Hieronymus Bosch, Daphne Odjig, and A.Y. Jackson, the collection includes approximately 9,100 prints, 6,600 drawings, and 19,700 photographs—and not a single one is a cat meme. The gallery also showcases more than 3,000 pieces of contemporary work from Canadian and international artists.

The museum’s collection grows by an average of 300 pieces a year, which fill about a quarter of the building’s 569,000 square feet. The space features impressive views of the Ottawa River, and houses lush gardens and peaceful courtyards.
