The Diefenbunker is a powerful reminder of our world on the edge of nuclear war. It tells the story of Canada’s resourcefulness, preparedness, and extraordinary efforts to safeguard our way of life in the face of a nuclear catastrophe.

Your gift makes a difference as we continue to share important history lessons from the Cold War and envision a more peaceful future. Since the museum opened in 1998, we have welcomed over one million visitors to experience Canadian history from a perspective unlike any other. Our award-winning offerings — educational programs, insightful exhibitions, and engaging community events — provide unforgettable opportunities to explore, connect, and reflect on the past.

Help us preserve this window into the past and provide impactful experiences for present and future generations.
