When we look up on a clear fall night, thousands of stars beckon. Each of these stars is a sun, similar in many ways to our own sun, but much farther away. To many, the stars form patterns and pictures of heroes, monsters, and mythical beasts – the constellations. But these patterns are fictitious, imposed on the night sky by people searching for meaning in the unexplained. Explore our galaxy from the inside out. Begin with an earth-bound view, and then leave home and travel the spiral arms, stopping to visit regions of starbirth and the shattered corpses of dying stars. Travel to the chaotic centre of the galaxy, where a supermassive black hole feeds on thousands of stars. Sit back, enjoy, ask questions and then venture outdoors to explore the galaxy throughout the coming nights.

Heritage themes highlight the Museum’s vast collections and interpretive galleries, exhibitions, interactive Planetarium shows, live and hands-on Science Gallery Exhibits bring the collections to the forefront for all to enjoy.

Exploration of the interrelationship of the environment and people through Manitoba’s history and within the contrasts of the province’s geographical features are showcased in eight interpretive galleries. Time stands still with the Urban Gallery’s Winnipeg of the 1920’s. Modern families can see how a Cree Family living the boreal forest enjoy rock painting and glimpse at life in a sod hut, marveling at how early settlers survived on the Prairies.

Not to be missed at the Manitoba Museum is the Nonsuch, built to commemorate the 300^th anniversary of the Hudson’s Bay Company. In 1970 this fullsize replica ketch sailed 14,000 kms to arrive at the Museum’s reconstruction of a 17^th century Thames River Port, were the original Nonsuch set sail from for the Hudson’s Bay Company’s search for furs.

Next door, the Hudson’s Bay Company Gallery has historical relics and treasures that display the Company’s significant contribution to the early Canadian merchantile trade of furs.

Experience the Universe as The Planetarium brings the stars and planets to life and provides an in depth view of the development of the space program. Animated children’s shows and live programs introduce the wonders of the universe to astronomical explorers of all ages.
