The Friends of The Canadian Museum for Human Rights Inc. announced today in Winnipeg, Manitoba the launch of the International Architectural Design Competition for The Canadian Museum for Human Rights. The vision of the project is to create a distinctive architecturally exceptional museum that will help to eliminate intolerance through recognition of human rights as the foundation for human equality, dignity and freedom world-wide. The museum has made groundbreaking history, as it will be the largest and perhaps only human rights museum of this scale in the world. The Friends of The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is issuing an open invitation to the international architectural community to engage in this exciting and important challenge. The project seeks to address Canadian and worldwide issues of tolerance and respect for human rights across many boundaries including, ethnicity, race, politics, religion and gender.
