My grandson wanted to check it out so we went. He lives just down the street, but had never been. ( I was visiting from Ontario). We walked around and checked out the exhibits, he was able to touch and use different materials that were available. We were able to go at our own pace, so the things that interested him we spent more time at. Staff are available to answer questions or let you explore on your own. It isn't so large that children become bored, but large enough to give them some history. He loved going down into the basement of the main building to see the exhibits that were kept behind glass.

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.

As one of Canada's leading art museums, the WAG has over 25,000 works of art ranging from 15th century European paintings to 21st century American multi-media art, and has toured exhibitions around the world-Spain, Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, Taiwan, Norway, China, Italy, and the United States. At the forefront in promoting Manitoba artists nationwide and abroad, the WAG also represents artists from countries and cultures from across the globe.

The Winnipeg Art Gallery is a Jewel. Thoughtful art displayed in context. Cutting-edge art and traditional subjects are both available. Something for everyone. I appreciated how the museum took efforts to consider contemporary issues in a meaningful way. The existing building is getting bigger with a new Inuit Art Centre - but there is a lot to do in the current museum. While I had adult time, WAG is great for families too. The food was good and WAG had a great shop with unique presents. Really nice room terrace would be great in summer. Very nice people at the museum were very helpful too. Really good experience and a must-see.

8. 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.

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.
