Manitoba Museum

The Manitoba Museum, previously the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature is the largest museum in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

The museum is the largest heritage centre in Manitoba and focuses on human and natural heritage. It has planetarium shows and a Science Gallery hall.

The collections in the museum reflect the heritage of Manitoba. The interpretive galleries are Earth History, Arctic/Sub-Arctic, Boreal Forest, Nonsuch, Hudson's Bay Company, Parklands/Mixed Woods, Grasslands and Urban.

Together these explore the history and environment of the province from its northern Arctic coast to its southern prairie grasslands. In particular the museum is famed for its Urban Gallery, which recreates a Winnipeg street scene in the 1920s.

The full-size replica ship Nonsuch, whose voyage in 1668 led to the founding of the Hudson's Bay Company, is the museum's showcase piece.

A renewed Science Gallery opened in 2008 replacing the 'Touch the Universe' Gallery.

Moderate sized collection. Come with around 3-4 hours to check out everything. Don’t miss the planetarium.

Every visit means another pilgrimage to the Nonsuch replica boat - remember, don't touch the ropes and always go down the stairs with your front facing the stairs...

Great family outing. To bad they are wasting all that money on the human rights museum. Imagine what this museum could be with that kind of money.
