The Canadian Museum for Human Rights was launched in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on April 17, 2004 on the 22nd anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
lt is the world's first national museum dedicated to human rights.
Conceived as a space for reflection and dialogue, the museum integrates history, testimony, and contemporary issues within an architectural symbol of transparency and hope.
We have been involved in this project from the early stages, developing the Concept and the three-volume Master Plan, providing the Functional Program and advising on the architectural design process as well as providing an update to the Business Plan and Space List. We also managed an International Architectural Competition that selected Antoine Predock to design the building.
We also guided the definition and structuring of collections and content, supported the curatorial and design process, and facilitated nation wide stakeholder and public consultations to shape narratives, priorities, and interpretation.
This participatory and inclusive approach ensured that the museum’s collection and exhibitions reflect both historical depth and civic engagement, turning a national collection into a living platform for human rights discourse.
We have continued to provide advisory services to Board and senior management on ail aspects of implementation, content development, recruitment services, and the inauguration. The Museum opened its doors to the world on September 20, 2014.
On November 19, 2015, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights made National Geographic's list of best trips on earth, 2016.
