The 7.5 hectares (19 acres) property is situated within LeBreton Flats, a neighbourhood within Ottawa, the capital city of Canada.
The property is situated southwest of Parliament Hill and the National War Memorial.
The property is bounded by roadways to the east and south, and by the Capital Pathway, and the southern banks of the Ottawa River to the west and north.
Water from the Ottawa River is drawn into the building for mechanical cooling, and ground irrigation of the larger property.

Directly south of the museum building is an urban park called The Commons, used for various events hosted by the museum.
A wheelchair accessible pathway built around the building's green roof connects The Commons with the parkland to the north of the museum.
