The museum’s 10 core galleries, spread over five floors, uses diverse stories from Canada and the rest of the world to inform visitors about human rights issues. Climb to the top of the museum tower for fine city views, and enjoy lunch in its excellent restaurant, ERA Bistro."

"Not only is it the world’s first museum dedicated to human rights, but also it’s an architectural marvel. This towering structure of glass, stone and steel has changed the city’s skyline. It houses 11 thought-provoking galleries, which define the concept of human rights and propose methods for protecting them."

"The message is an important one and this museum did not disappoint!. The building itself is beautiful with each part of the structure having a specific meaning – roots, clouds, mountains. It was very well thought out and meaningful design."

"As you enter the building, the low ceiling compresses the vertical space only to open up magnificently into the main exhibition room, with powerful receding planes of cool tyndal stone. The stairwell, made of the same monolithic stone, becomes part of the architecture rather than mere circulation corridor, inviting visitors to experience the room from different points within that volume of space."

There are over 25,000 works in its own permanent collection and it regularly hosts temporary exhibitions featuring local, national, and international artists."

Guides show visitors around the area while explaining all sorts of facts about money while also giving you the chance to hold a $600,000 gold bar and look at the beautiful Olympic gold medals that were made for Vancouver 2010. It’s not like you’ll find the Royal Canadian Mint everywhere you go, so if you’re in Winnipeg, this is a cool place to check out."
