Museum Galleries
Set sail on a thrilling voyage of excitement and discovery at The Manitoba Museum. Only here can you travel through time to the roaring 20�s, explore a 17th century ship and view treasures from around the world.

There is always something new to experience. An ever-changing variety of touring and specialty exhibits are a fantastic compliment to our nine permanent galleries. One of the newest additions is Ancient Seas, a completely immersive, animated underwater environment that takes you back 450 million years to a tropical sea that once existed where Churchill is today. Our Discovery Room is updated every six months with treasures from our vaults. Be sure to visit our newly refurbished Earth History Gallery and discover why one of our curators is in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The Manitoba Museum is the recipient of the Michelin Green Guide top award, a designation of Worth the Trip; the Province of Manitoba Tourism Service Excellence Award; the Attractions Canada Prix Award (provincial) for indoor attractions; and the Canadian Tourism Commission Win with Winter in Canada Award.

Planetarium and Science Gallery
