tourismwinnipeg.com 7 Canadian Museum for Human Rights If you haven't done it yet, make this the year that you visit the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. If you've already been, here's betting that there is still more to explore. It's a big space full of big ideas to stretch your body and mind. Here you will find thousands of diverse stories from across Canada and around the world about people who have taken a stand for human rights. Inside the museum's galleries, the amount of content is considerable—some addressing dark chapters and others brimming with optimism. Mistakes are acknowledged. Stories are told in all kinds of unique, interesting and relevant ways; they're relayed through installations, artifacts, interactive presentations, films, multimedia technology and more. The museum is the most inclusive cultural institution in the world, ensuring visits are accessible for all ages and abilities. Just spending time in the building itself is something to experience. The massive spaces and incredible architectural structure and detail leave you open to new possibilities. It was designed with concepts such as inclusion, freedom, equality and dignity in mind; ideas that have inspired people to strive for better futures. Its winding design takes visitors on an upward journey, progressing from ground to sky, darkness to light— intended as a metaphor for the struggle to fully realize human rights for all. Inspired by the country's majestic natural domain – grasslands, deeply rooted trees, towering mountains, Northern lights, snow, icebergs, water and sky – the architect's design is heavy with symbolism. If you'd prefer to explore the museum virtually, the website also offers many stories connected to the museum's content and an abundance of online resources including virtual guided tours, quizzes and teacher guides. For an even closer look, travel gallery by gallery using the museum's mobile app. Available in English, French, sign language and text, you'll learn about the installations and architecture through narration, images and video. In some cases, the actual voices of the museum's curators and program developers are used to explain their work. Put a visit to this national museum at the top of your list.
