Experience the powerful stories of past and present at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Using innovative approaches, this national museum invites visitors to explore and reflect on human rights in Canada and internationally.

We share hundreds of stories in ways that can be appropriate for visitors of all ages, and the Museum is accessible to people of all abilities. Visits can be experienced in either of Canada’s official languages – English or French. Located at The Forks, in downtown Winnipeg, the Museum is literally at the centre of it all.

Discover more than 100 years of aviation history as you learn about Canadian heroes, innovators, and change-makers. Climb aboard a 1960’s-era passenger plane, learn about the science of flight, and discover hands-on experiences throughout the museum’s exhibits. Kids will love the space-themed play area, aviation enthusiasts will love the more than 20 aircraft on display, and everyone will love watching planes come and go through the observation lounge windows as live audio from the airport's control tower plays overhead. Learn, play, and be inspired at the new Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada.
