What's on your Manitoba Bucket List?

Dine aboard the Nonsuch
Step back in time and experience the dinner of your dreams on the Nonsuch, the Manitoba Museum’s famous 17th century replica ketch. The Nonsuch sailed 14,000 kilometres of salt and fresh water before finding a home at the Museum. Now you can experience this iconic piece of history all to yourself. Justin Bieber did it, and now you can, too! You and that special someone can enjoy a lavish catered meal on the deck of the majestic ship. It will be a true VIP experience with the entire gallery all to yourself.

For more details and booking information, contact Liette Robert from the Museum’s Rentals department at 204-988-0655 or lrobert@manitobamuseum.ca.
