MANITOBA MUSEUM
GALLERY REFRESH
The Manitoba Museum is renowned for its portrayal of
Manitoba's rich and diverse history, Planetarium shows,
and Science Gallery exhibits. The Manitoba Museum
has recently renewed more than 40% of its galleries. The
museum journey now begins in the refreshed Welcome
Gallery, where the iconic life-sized bison hunt diorama
greets visitors. Targeted to open in Q1 2021, the new
Prairies Gallery features artifacts and specimens to
highlight the diverse geography, plants and animals of
the region, and tell the stories of Indigenous peoples
and early settlers. The sleek Winnipeg Gallery reveals
the deep fascinating history of the province's capital city
through interactive video and audio displays. The beloved
replica Nonsuch ship is situated in a 17th-century port city
in the remodeled Nonsuch Gallery.
Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG) is set to open the world-class $65
million Qaumajuq Inuit art centre (pronounced Kow-ma-yourk or
How-ma-yourk) opening March 2021. The building's name means,
"It is bright, it is lit" in Inuktitut. The WAG has the largest public
collection of contemporary Inuit art in the world with more than
13,000 pieces in its growing collection. Qaumajuq will be a new
home for the collection and is the only Inuit art centre in the
world. The museum is designed by U.S. architect Michael Maltzan,
designed to reflect the landscape of the North. It will feature the
world's first visible art vault of its kind, that will be three stories
high and filled with thousands of carvings.
