Amazing Spaces, Powerful Meeting Places

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is a stunning new international architectural icon that could be the perfect venue for your next social event. We offer a number of rental venues that have the potential to inspire your guests in powerful ways.  

Highlights

• The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is the first national museum in Canada's history to be built outside the National Capital Region, and is located in Winnipeg for good reason. The city has an inspiring human rights legacy, which includes the labour rights struggle of the 1919 Winnipeg Strike, Nellie McClung’s fight for women’s right to vote, and defense of French language rights.
• The Museum is a high-performance “green building” constructed to meet LEED Silver certification. This means that the construction process as well as the finished product must adhere to strict sustainability standards.
• Complimentary wireless internet
