Winnipeg Art Gallery Royal Canadian Mint: Tripwire Media Manitoba Museum MANITOBA MUSEUM www.manitobamuseum.ca How many places do you know that can take you from the towering dinosaurs of the Cretaceous Period, to across the cosmos through space and time, to the buffalo laden prairie plains all under one roof? If your answer is none, then you haven't been to the Manitoba Museum. The nine permanent galleries in this award-winning heritage and edu-tainment centre will enthral kids and adults alike; whether you are catching a Planetarium show featuring one of the world's most advanced projection systems, to viewing some of Canada's most important historical artifacts in the Hudson's Bay Company Museum Collection, the Manitoba Museum is sure to please. ROYAL CANADIAN MINT www.mint.ca One of Winnipeg's most beautiful buildings, its reflective glassy exterior is a sight to behold at sundown, glowing under an orange prairie sky. On the inside you'll find guided tours that will have you holding a gold bar worth more than $750,000 (it's really quite heavy), ogling over the Olympic gold medals that were made for Vancouver 2010 and witnessing coins being produced for 75 different countries. A trip to the Mint is surely worth every penny. THERMËA BY NORDIK SPA-NATURE www.thermea.ca The newest jewel in Winnipeg's luxuriant-spa crown, Thermëa brings a bit of Scandinavia to the heart of Canada. Let the stress soak out of you in thermal pools situated amongst the pines; indulge your senses in Finnish saunas; treat yourself to the best in body treatments and massage therapy and then finish your day with some exquisite dining — because hey, you are worth it. WINNIPEG ART GALLERY www.wag.ca Architecturally striking and centrally located in the heart of downtown, the WAG houses an internationally acclaimed collection (with exhibitions having been shown from New York, to Barcelona, to Tokyo) of nearly 24,000 works featuring a great deal of Canadian and Manitoba-centric pieces, including the world's largest collection of contemporary Inuit art. Critically acclaimed touring shows are also constantly brought in, featuring everything from the Renaissance to Dadaism, to Ancient Greece and the best in contemporary photography. 7. 8. 9. 10. 8 2017 OFFICIAL VISITOR'S GUIDE Winnipeg
