Manitoba Museum

The Manitoba Museum is the province's largest centre for heritage and science learning, unique in its combined human and natural history themes, immersive world class dioramas, science and astronomy education, and in the scope and quality of its programs. The Manitoba Museum, housed within the Centennial Concert Hall campus and across from City Hall, presents three main offerings to the public: 1. Museum: Journey through nine immersive galleries that tell the human and natural history of Manitoba from north to south, from ancient to contemporary times. 2. Planetarium: The full-dome digital Planetarium invites you to explore the known universe. Select from a variety of shows, from pre-produced shows with live introduction, or an immersive look at the current night sky. 3. Science Gallery: Enjoy hands on fun as you test the universal laws of science and explore the wonders of technology and illusion. See a Manitoba-made Black Brant rocket, build and race your own car on a jumbo race tr

I recently participated in the Museum's Now and Then program. This is a program designed for people with early to middle dementia and their caregivers. It is two hours long and includes an introduction, a visit to a gallery, coffee and cookies and then an activity associated with the gallery that was visited. This time we visited the Urban Gallery which is augmented to reflect the Winnipeg General Strike that took place 100 years ago. There was even a short film playing in the movie theatre and like it would have been 100 years ago it was in black and white with no sound other than some music playing. The information presented before, during and after the tour was fascinating. This is a great program for everyone.

Le Musee de Saint-Boniface Museum

The Grey Nuns' convent, Winnipeg's oldest building, houses Le Musee de Saint-Boniface Museum. Built for the Grey Nuns who arrived in the Red River Colony in 1844, the structure is an outstanding example of Red River frame construction. The Museum presents an impressive collection of artifacts that reveal the lives and culture of the Francophone and Metis communities of Manitoba, including a special exhibit about Louis Riel, the "father" of Manitoba.

This is possibly the best museum on the Prairies for anyone interested in Métis history. The artifacts alone are enough to draw you in. Where else would you find a lock of Louis Riel’s hair? We spent over an hour, poring over each plaque and description that accompanied the displays. It was a remarkable lesson in Canadian history, with information that appeals to all age groups. As with most businesses at this time, masks were mandatory and there was ample hand sanitizer around the building. Admission is by donation, which you are able to make in the quaint gift shop. I picked up some very unique items at the shop. You can even purchase St. Boniface hand sanitizer! And I did. I would definitely return for another visit the next time I am in Winnipeg.

Itsanitaq Museum

Reviewed By biztraveler05340 - Kitty Hawk, United States

Itsanitak Museum is remarkable for its collection of Inuit artifacts including authentic skin on frame kayaks. Museum also has a number of wild animal specimens including musk ox, arctic fox and polar bear. Worth the time to take it all in without rushing.

An amazing place to view farm machinery and heritage buildings. Lots to see and enjoy at this museum. Shannon and Megan gave us a great tour and helped us locate my grandfathers Marshall tractor that was donated. There are many unique and interesting tractors to see and enjoy plus other farm machinery. The Threshermen’s reunion will be within a week or two and it’s well worth attending if you can.
