The Universe is a big palace, and professional astronomers can t keep track of everything. A lot of science is still done by amateur observers using backyard telescopes and binoculars - even the unaided eye! In this workshop, you ll get an introduction to scientific observing and learn about some science projects you can start tonight with your binoculars or small telescope.

Now & Then: A Journey in Time is a program that encourages people living with early to moderate symptoms of dementia and their care partners to explore the Manitoba Museum's many collections.

During four lively sessions led by a Museum Learning Facilitator, participants will explore old memories and create new ones through objects, activities, and stimulating discussions. Each session highlights one of the Museum's distinct galleries.

The Shoe Project

The Shoe Project features personal stories written and performed by newcomer women living in Winnipeg. Working with Writing Mentor Patlee Creary, an immigrant to Canada herself, The Shoe Project collaborates with a Steering Committee of 13 local organizations in Winnipeg.
