The Manitoba Museum is located at 190 Rupert Ave in downtown Winnipeg. There is something for everyone to see, learn, and enjoy here.

Blasterz spent 5 hours here, and STILL did not see it all (we declined the Planetarium show). Truly this is one of the better cultural history museums we have been to.

PLEASE NOTE: There is no photography allowed in the exhibits - many are very old and can be damaged by the camera flash.

From the website: (visit link)

"There is always something new to discover at The Manitoba Museum. With three exciting venues, each and every visit can be a new adventure.

The Museum features nine permanent galleries that tell the story of Manitoba, and a Discovery Room that’s updated every six months with new, never-before-seen treasures from our vaults. Our Planetarium offers a variety of shows for all ages, while the Science Gallery makes learning fun with tons of interactive, hands-on exhibits and activities.

From new permanent exhibits to temporary traveling exhibitions to our ever-changing Planetarium shows, you have a great number of options readily available.

The “Plan my visit menu” (located on the left) contains a series of tools to help you plan your experience and make the most out of your visit. You may want to start with our visitor planner, or take a look at our facility with our interactive map."
