The museum interprets historical and
contemporary craft in Manitoba through
exhibits that feature pieces from a collection
of more than 9,000 handcrafted items, and
contemporary work from local craft artists.
The exhibitions change about three times each
With an enormous yellow turbine runner at
the entrance into the historic building, you
can't miss this must-see Winnipeg attraction.
Climb inside a streetcar, one of the earliest
uses of electricity in the province; see a 1940s
kitchen; look at a HVDC transmission line up
close; discover what year your community got
electricity, or push buttons on a giant talking
robot. Interactive exhibits encourage you to
consider how much we depend on energy today.
From arc lights to motion-detected LED lighting,
electricity has certainly evolved. Follow the
decisions that were made in Manitoba's history
that now make hydroelectricity one of this
province's greatest resources. Entertaining and
informative for all ages.
Open Monday to Thursday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
and by appointment. Guided tours available.
Seasonal events include Discover Wonder Juice
held in the month of May, Louie's Family Fun
Days in July & August; and All That Glows: Then
and Now, a celebration of holiday lighting
trends, running from mid-November to early
January.
