Canadian Museum for Human Rights

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights opened to the public on September 20, 2014 on the grounds of The Forks in Winnipeg, realizing a dream of the late philanthropist Israel Asper. It is the first national museum built outside the national capital region, and its building came from architect Antoine Predock, who won a design competition that drew entries from 63 firms in 21 countries.

Inside, about a kilometre of glowing alabaster ramps carries visitors up through 10 galleries across seven levels to the Tower of Hope, part of a building that Architect magazine describes with a 100 metre crystalline tower. Time Out says its exhibits explore human rights in Canada and around the world, and The Globe and Mail called it a significant Winnipeg institution in 2018. Adult admission is $23, and entry is free on the first Sunday of every month.
