Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum

Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum in Winnipeg preserves the history and culture of Franco-Manitoban communities and the Métis in the former Grey Nuns' Convent at Old St. Boniface. Built from 1846 to 1851 after the Grey Nuns arrived in the Red River Settlement in 1844, the white oak log building became a major centre of health care, education, and charity, with women shaping community life there for more than a century. Later adapted as a museum, it presents the region's French-Canadian, Métis, First Nations, and religious histories, including a permanent Louis Riel exhibit. Its architectural and historical importance has earned national, provincial, and municipal recognition.
