The high point for me was an exhibit <http://nature.ca/en/plan-your-visit/what-see-do/our-exhibitions/moths-large> of photos of Canadian moths. The prints were enormous - around 36" wide - and so detailed that you could see not only the individual scales on the wings and body but also the fine details on each scale. The photographer, Jim des Rivieres, uses an Epson scanner to photograph the moths, rather than a standard camera. His web site <http://www.moths.ca/index.html> has some full-resolution images and lots of info about how he does it. This exhibition will be on until January 9. If you're going to be in Ottawa, it's really worth a visit.
