Library of Parliament (former Bank of Nova Scotia) Doors Open Ottawa
Discover the interim main library inside a former bank – designed in 1924 by John Lyle, one of Canada’s leading beaux-arts architects. In this unique setting, where modernism rubs against a classical esthetic, you will learn about the Library of Parliament’s collections and services as well as have a look inside its new reading room, upgraded in 2018.
