Getaway with the entire family to enjoy Fairmont Château Laurier, Ottawa's very own castle. In the heart of the Nation's Capital, the hotel is located just across the way from the popular Canadian Museum of Civilization, which is currently featuring "AFGHANISTAN: Hidden Treasures Exhibition" showcasing treasures that miraculously survived war and chaos in Afghanistan. These stunning objects, from the National Museum in Kabul, were feared stolen or destroyed. But they had been daringly hidden by a group of brave Afghans... and were rediscovered 20 years later. The Exhibit features more than 200 artifacts, including exquisite gold jewellery, finely-carved ivory, delicate glassware and superb sculptures. Dating from around 300 BCE to 100 CE, they reveal a rich and diverse ancient culture.
