visit is a must. Whether you take a guided or self-guided tour, the CMHR will draw you through a journey that literally ascends from darkness to light, with 10 awe- inspiring, sometimes harrowing, and always-interactive galleries presenting human rights issues from across the globe and through the ages. For a slightly more localized trip through time, make your way to the Manitoba Museum for an immersive experience, featuring breath-taking world-class dioramas, a digital recreation of an ancient sea, and a vibrant reproduction of 1920s Winnipeg including a black and white cinema playing Charlie Chaplin films. With nine galleries to enjoy, an adventure awaits around every corner! We must also mention our headline-grabbing Warming Huts, which have been covered by publications from all over the world including The New York Times and countless European architecture and design magazines. These structures can be found all along the Red River Mutual Trail (the frozen Red and Assiniboine rivers) snaking out from The Forks while providing a place to tie your skates and take a selfie. Famed designers, architects and artists — including Anish Kapoor, Frank Gehry and Tanya Tagaq — have all had works out on the ice, while new structures come up each year — the results of an international design contest awarded by jury. A tremendous resource for discovering Winnipeg's central, creative hub (which spans from downtown throughout the historic Exchange District) is through Design Quarter Winnipeg. This non-profit, via their website [www.designquarterwinnipeg.ca], social media, and physical maps (which you can pick up at our office, the Travel Manitoba Visitor Centre, and The Exchange District Biz office) has curated detailed guides to the locally owned and design-driven shops, restaurants, and businesses that constitute a walkable hub awash with creativity and innovation. They also host their own events throughout the year that provide a showcase for all the creative and aesthetically pleasing businesses and arts groups found within central Winnipeg. www.tourismwinnipeg.com 41 WINNIPEG ITINERARIES Leo Mol Sculpture Garden: Ron Boily Warming hut at The Forks: Mike Peters Winnipeg Art Gallery Design Quarter Winnipeg: Mike Peters
