The Manitoba Museum, previously the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature is the largest museum in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The museum was designed by Herbert Henry Gatenby Moody of Moody and Moore in 1965.
The museum is the largest heritage center in Manitoba and the world and focuses on human and natural heritage. It has planetarium shows and a Science Gallery hall. The Institute for stained glass in Canada has documented the stained glass at the Manitoba Museum.
The Manitoba Museum is the first Canadian museum to recreate marine life as it was 450 million years ago. A virtual underwater observatory shows the Hudson's Bay region during the Ordovician period. Manitoba is home to the giant trilobite.
The collections in the museum reflect the heritage of Manitoba. The interpretive galleries are Earth History, Arctic / Sub-Arctic, Boreal Forest, Nonsuch, Hudson's Bay Company, Parklands / Mixed Woods, Grasslands and Urban.
Together these explore the history and environment of the province from its northern Arctic coast to its southern prairie grasslands. In particular the museum is famed for its Urban Gallery, which recreates the Winnipeg street scene in the 1920s.
The full-size replica ship Nonsuch, whose voyage in 1668 led to the founding of the Hudson's Bay Company, is the museum's showcase piece.
A renewed Science Gallery opened in 2008 replacing the 'Touch the Universe' Gallery.
