I guess. Is it a place of great importance to the Canadian people?

All of those as well as the Met, Guggenheim, Morgan, and Frick Museums.

Also Lacoste France (the Marquis de Sade's manor), Plimoth rock, the National mall in DC, The French Quarter in New Orleans, the CNN building here in Atlanta (it passes for a landmark here) and probably a few others I cannot recall at this moment.

and The Hayden Planitarium.

I've been to the natural history museum but not the Hayden Planetarium. Planetarium any good?
