    Canadian Museum For Human Rights

    Take a journey from darkness to light.

    This award-winning museum - and the only national museum in western Canada - is dedicated to sharing stories of human struggle, sacrifice and triumph. This isn’t just a museum where you learn about the past - it’s a beacon of hope that invites you to imagine a better future.

    Rising tall on an ancient meeting place where two rivers meet in the heart of Winnipeg, this iconic building has changed Winnipeg’s skyline. From the Tower of Hope shining as a beacon, to the wings that envelop the building like a cloud, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights makes a statement from a distance and has an even greater impact once you’re inside.

    Glowing alabaster walkways take you through 11 galleries. These interactive galleries--including Indigenous Perspectives, Turning Points for Humanity and Inspiring Change--highlight human rights stories from Canada and around the world. Take a guided tour or download the app to enhance your journey with audio, video, augmented reality and interactive panoramas.
