Manitoba Museum

The Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg is Manitoba’s provincial museum of human and natural history and the province’s largest not-for-profit centre for heritage and science education. Emerging from collecting efforts begun in 1879, it developed into a public museum in 1932 and moved into its present Centennial Centre home after the planetarium opened in 1968 and the galleries in 1970. Its collections now exceed 2.9 million artifacts and specimens, spanning Manitoba’s environments, cultures, and urban history. Major expansions brought the Hudson’s Bay Company’s historic collection and archives, while recent renewals and collaboration with Indigenous advisers have broadened how the province’s history is presented.
