The Manitoba Museum, previously the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature is the largest museum in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Manitoba Museum

The museum is the largest heritage centre in Manitoba and focuses on human and natural heritage. It has planetarium shows and a Science Gallery hall.

The collections in the museum reflect the heritage of Manitoba. There are eight interpretive galleries that explore the history and environment of the province from its northern Arctic coast to its southern prairie grasslands. The museum is famed for its Urban Gallery, which recreates a 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.
