WINNIPEG GALLERY he Manitoba Museum opened a brand-new gallery dedicated to the history of the dynamic city of Winnipeg on November 1, T2019. The Winnipeg Gallery is the first new permanent gallery since 2003, and the second phase of theBringing Our Stories Forward Capital Renewal Project.

The Winnipeg Gallery provides multiple unique opportunities to explore the deep and rich history of the province’s capital city. Visitors can explore the city through the new gallery, where Indigenous histories are told along with the story of 150 years of immigration. New media is combined with over 100 artifacts not previously seen by the public to provide an exciting new museum experience.

The exhibits are full of stories of individuals, including Indigenous peoples, descendants of generations of settlers, and recent newcomers. The Museum’s curatorial team worked with the Indigenous Advisory Circle and Community Engagement Team for Immigration, along with other individuals from Indigenous and newcomer communities, to create exhibits that are both comprehensive and engaging.

Manitoba Museum is accredited by Imagine for excellence in non-profit accountability, transparency, and governance.
