How long did it take to make the Canadian Museum Of Civilization?

Many many years, in one sense they started in 1856 but work on the current building started in 1986 with serious design and planning , work started at the site in 1987 if memory serves me correct and completed in 1989/90. It had considerable media attention at the time. It was a good example of the "overhead" or some would say corruption that comes with such projects. The completed building would have cost about $100 million if I or a private company had built it for themselves but the final cost was well over 3X that. Many questions were raised as the building was raised but all the investigations concluded that the extra costs were, to paraphrase the explanations, the costs of doing government business. That is very Canadian, from the construction of the transcontinental railway to all government projects today "extra" costs are considered normal, even Canadian. And so it the Canadian Museum of History, well worth the visit.
