Human Rights Museum to Put Winnipeg on Architectural Map

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2004 / April 5

Currently, when it comes to architecture, Winnipeg is hardly on the cutting edge. Although we have a few gems - the legislature, St. Boniface Basilica - it has been decades since any construction has generated much interest outside the perimeter. But a lot can change in four years; when the Canadian Human Rights Museum opens its doors at the Forks in 2008, Winnipeg's skyline will be hardly recognizable. And while the new centennial library, Manitoba Hydro's head office, and the MTS centre are all significant they will pale in comparison. Already architects from around the world are taking notice of the museum, and Winnipeg seems poised to make a name for itself on the international architectural stage.
