Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum - Winnipeg
About Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum
At our very core, we care for Winnipeg’s oldest building, the Grey Nuns’ Convent (built 1846-51), which has historic designations at the municipal, provincial and national levels. We also care for and manage a collection of artifacts on behalf of countless families, organizations, congregations and parishes who have donated their belongings for posterity. We continue to meet with families to discuss potential donations, fully aware that the decisions we make today affect what future generations will be able to access in terms of heritage held in public trust.
If you have been to the museum you know that it is a special place where stories come alive and the community comes together. Where else can you admire the craftmanship of such an impressive oak log home? Where else can you feel the slope and hear the creaks that only 170 years of standing can achieve? Where else can you wander through a lived-in space that touched so many, all the while learning about that very community’s illustrious history and heritage, amidst compelling exhibits and artifacts?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent small museum in an historic building. Free, but would have willing paid to visit it. Took a walking tour. The two of us had two guides who did a Walking tour explaining Louis Riel's history. If you are interested in Manitoba's Metis and Francophone history, this is the museum for you!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Admission was only $7 and it's a great old building to tour. If you take your time and read all the historical placards you'll learn gads and gads about the history of the Metis in Canada, much of it not casting a favourable light on the Canadian government. I loved learning about the Grey Nuns as well, those women were a force to be reckoned with.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice museum on French-Canadian history and the oldest wooden building in Western Canada, as far as I know. 1844 or so, I believe. Many artifacts from different periods including a lot on Louis Riel who is buried nearby at the Cathedral, along with many of his family members. Staff is always helpful and there's a small store with books, souvenirs, etc.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An excellent interpretive tour both in the museum and the adjoining grounds of the Cathédrale St. Boniface for 2 classrooms of elementary children.
Both relaxing and very informative. I learned a lot.
Merci à Stephane et les autres personnes qui nous ont accompagnés.
