Now you're comparing apples and oranges. That is like comparing the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum to the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.
Why not instead compare the CMHR with the Canadian Museum of Immigration? Both are located outside of the Capital Region and both have less "🞵🞵🞵🞵" themes?
If you want to do some research on attendance, annual and quarterly reports are available online for all publicly funded museums, but it is way too early for the Q1 2015 report. I'd be interested to hear what you find.
Incidentally, the argument that the CMHR should have been a website is weak and could apply to virtually any museum. Why have any museum, art gallery or zoo in this day and age when content can be put online? Why build large dioramas in museums when a picture or video online would suffice? Harper is spending millions building new dioramas in his ideologically reoriented Museum of History to commemorate such events as the last spike in the CPR. Can't we just look at historical photos on a website to appreciate this event?
