Museo de Saint-Boniface

Experiencia negativa: Estuvo cerrado durante 2 años. Hay una dirección de reubicación temporal, pero solo es una tienda con varios objetos relacionados con los indígenas.

Experiencia positiva: El 15 de junio de 2024 asistí a una despedida de soltera en el segundo piso. ¡Qué hermoso lugar para tener una reunión! La luz era encantadora a través de las ventanas. El espacio era perfecto para un grupo de tamaño moderado a grande.

Experiencia fantástica: ¡WOW! El personal era muy conocedor y servicial, ¡y fue encantador conversar con ellos! El museo hizo un trabajo increíble mostrando el trabajo de las Hermanas Grises y la biografía de Louis Riel. Definitivamente tómate el tiempo para ver los videos. ¡También hay una gran tienda de regalos!

Experiencia positiva: ¡Emocionante, educativo e inspirador!

Experiencia fantástica: Nice place. Lots of old artifacts

Experiencia fantástica: We're well

Experiencia fantástica: I came here for Louis Reil day. It was lively with music and loved how the shop has aboriginal, Métis and colourful items.

Experiencia fantástica: Great little place. The Louis Riel room is excellent. Not an overly big place but just right for a two hour outing.

Experiencia positiva: Definitely a treasure trove of info about life before Canada was even a country of its own. Shows excellent artifacts and examples of how life was during the times prior to electricity. The Metis displays were very detailed and help visitors get a picture of how Manitoba was at the time it became a province of Canada.

Experiencia fantástica: Wow. I went here with no expectations at all and it ended up being a highlight of my trip to Winnipeg! Madelaine was our tour guide and we learned so much from her dynamic and casual tour! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Took the tour and was not disappointed. Very educational .

Experiencia fantástica: Cool old building with some historical displays. Nice place, I'm glad to see such an old building maintained and open to anyone to see.

Experiencia fantástica: Vous êtes très intéressant

Experiencia fantástica: Tout simplement parfait. Les expositions sont belles, surtout celle sur Louis Riel. Le musée se situe dans un très vieux bâtiment dont à l'arrière il y a une ancienne chapelle qui maintenant contient plusieurs artéfacts d'une autre époque. Au deuxième étage se trouve une exposition sur l'art Métisse et indigène. On y trouve un peu de tout, passant par la peinture et la couture. La description des œuvres est décrites en Français, en anglais et dans la langue de l'artiste. Les gens à l'accueil sont PARFAIT! ils parlent français, répondent à toutes nos questions, ils sont tout simplement passionnés par l'histoire de St-Boniface. Nous avons eu la chance de poser une seule question et c'est un livre qui s'est ouvert à nous. De plus, la vue de ce site est tout simplement splendide! un must, impossible à manquer. Devant le musée se retrouve un énorme buste en l'honneur de Louis Riel. J'ai tout simplement adoré!

Experiencia fantástica: I came with a work group and the tour guide was very patient and explained everything very well! I would definitely come back!

Experiencia positiva: It's a small museum, the staff is very nice and knowledgeable and patient with kids questions. It's an important part of our history.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to the St Boniface museum on a Thursday when the entrance and tours were free. When I got there and asked about the free tour, I was told that there wasn’t going to be one because there wasn’t enough people. Literally only me. It made sense at the time because, of course, I didn’t want to put them to any trouble. So I wandered around with one of the fellows, just pointing out the different rooms and what were in there but no detailed information. I went away underwhelmed and later decided that I would contact the museum and ask why they wouldn’t give a tour even if it was just for one person because one person or 10 people what’s the difference? I received an immediate response, and was told that I should have been given a tour and that,” anytime I would like”, I would get free entry and a tour. Thank you Loik ! Well, I’ve had a tour of both the graveyard and the museum and I can tell you it was incredibly informative and very satisfying. The information imparted I had no clue about. Yes, there’s a lot about Louis Riel, because he is buried there, but there’s also a lot about the history of St Boniface and Winnipeg in general. I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone who might go, but a couple nuggets of information that I learned kind of blew me away. First of all, I found out that a cross is only a crucifix if it has Jesus on it. Otherwise, it’s just a cross. And on the cemetery grounds a life sized crucifix just outside of the old cathedral faces the cathedral, when normally, it should be facing out from the graveyard. Apparently, this is to protect the cathedral, which has burned down three or four times now. It was totally fascinating to hear about the original inhabitants of this area and the Europeans effect on them and how the newly formed Manitoba government try to negotiate with the Canadian government to become Manitoba. And lots and lots and lots of details in between. If you are at all into museums, and how the local history formed what is now the modern era, this is a must visit museum and the tour makes all the difference! I highly recommend attending the St Boniface museum.

Experiencia fantástica: A wonderful treasure! Must see when visiting Winnipeg. Parking is a challenge.

Experiencia positiva: Intéressant mais se visite en très peux de temps.

Experiencia positiva: A place to go if you want to understand the live of gray nuns during the 19th century.

Experiencia fantástica: I grew up minutes away from here. My little sister and I visited this museum weekly. Sometimes daily... It was our favourite place to go. Often times we would stop spur-of-the-moment while riding our bikes. It's a beautiful well-kept piece of history.

Experiencia fantástica: Totally interesting. A slice of history I have not previously known of. Such gracious and knowledgeable staff. I will try to spend more time there.

Experiencia fantástica: Son and daughter had a great time here learning about the history of St Boniface. A fun hidden gem.

Experiencia positiva: Très beau bâtiment riche en histoire. Par contre, le musée n'était pas de mes attentes.

Experiencia fantástica: Short but efficient overview of the Métisse and French population history in Canada. Quite interesting.

Experiencia positiva: It's a little bit hard to find. Drive past it and there is a large sign. Then turn at the next street for on street parking or go around the block.

Experiencia fantástica: Gorgeous building. The oldest building in Winnipeg. Well kept. Friendly staff. Welcoming environment. Cute little gift shop and great snacks. Definitely will be returning here for a visit and look at the artifacts. Thank you for preserving our history.

Experiencia positiva: Attended to celebrate Louis Riel Day. Would like to see more exhibits, see more public support. Everyone should take the time to see the oldest building in Winnipeg and learn about our past.

Experiencia positiva: Got to meet my main home slice Louis bought a bear claw necklace

Experiencia fantástica: A really cool museum about French and Métis history. Went there for Thursday when they have extended hours. Was pay what you can.

Experiencia fantástica: The museum was incredible. The staff was friendly. I am a descendant of Amable Nault. Seeing his sash brought tears to my eyes. Knowing he was one of the builders of the original building made the visit that much more special.

Experiencia positiva: We enjoyed our visit during the week, admission is by donation. So make sure to visit the gift shop, many historic artifacts and information. If you don't want your car towed make sure you don't park on Tache.

Experiencia fantástica: I visited this great museum for the first time in July 2022 and was amazed by its rich history. Emily (Museum Curator) walked us through an important piece of Manitoba history. This building is the first hospital built in Western Canada by the grey nuns. It is the oldest standing wooden structure in North America. It served the needs of Manitobans who were ill and was the foundation of educating future nurses. And finally, the reason for visiting are the artifacts of Metis Louis Riel. Those I will leave as a surprise in this write-up. A great honorable mention to those who preserved this astounding part of Manitoba (and Canada's) history and hope everyone gets a chance to visit the St. Boniface Museum. The entry is free so please make a worthwhile donation to keep the piece of Manitoba history standing for the world to see.

Experiencia fantástica: You feel the history in the building, you can visit yourself or let the guides interpret the artefacts for you. Very nice, also a great store to explore and get postcards and other french-manitoban stuff.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice museum, not too big but interesting.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience for my 9 year old grandaughter to see how places were built and how they lived. The oldest building in Winnipeg built by the Grey Nuns from 1846 to 1851. Started as a nunnery then an orphanage, school, seniors home and then part of the start of St. Boniface Hospital. The only thing that scared her were the creaky floors...lol.. too unsafe for her.

Experiencia fantástica: Well worth the visit. Interesting building with many artifacts on display.

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful place, wonderful and very knowledgeable staff, very interesting history, fantastic exhibits.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful exhibits of early Winnipeg, especially the Louis Riel portion. Staff/host was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and able to answer questions. Will definitely repeat once the upstairs exhibits are complete.

Experiencia fantástica: Free donation only

Experiencia positiva: Jolie petit musée sur l'histoire des soeur et Louis Riel

Experiencia fantástica: Beau service et très belle accueil. Lieu avec une belle histoire.

Experiencia positiva: Quite interesting and bonus - free this year

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent small museum in an historic building. Free, but would have willing paid to visit it. Took a walking tour. The two of us had two guides who did a Walking tour explaining Louis Riel's history. If you are interested in Manitoba's Metis and Francophone history, this is the museum for you!

Experiencia fantástica: Knowledgeable staff and great place to check out in Winnipeg.

Experiencia fantástica: Cool place to be

Experiencia fantástica: Bilingue. Merci et bravo !

Experiencia fantástica: Super !

Experiencia fantástica: Been here twice. Great connection to the past that we should keep trying to preserve. Super friendly staff.

Experiencia fantástica: This was a very nice museum that provided a good history of the Convent beginnings and the pioneers who founded it. We really enjoyed the section on Louis Riel. Parking is somewhat difficult to find since the museum itself does not have any that we could see (we parked on a side street), but that was my only real issue.

Experiencia fantástica: An excellent place to know.Métis history

Experiencia fantástica: Love the childhood memories it brought back.

Experiencia fantástica: Great historic museum & dedicated staff - Defintly worth the visit

Experiencia fantástica: A great museum! Lots to learn and very close to the Forks!

Experiencia fantástica: Very interesting museum that provides a great history lesson on the Metis people, Louis Riel and the Grey Nuns.

Experiencia fantástica: Visiting this museum has been a rewarding experience through the cultural discovery of the Aboriginal and Métis community... it's fascinating!

Experiencia fantástica: I live in Winnipeg and this was my first trip to the Museum. Very interesting. Fabulous info on the life of Louis Riel and the Metis. Many old items from what they used to get food, protection and battles fought. Artifacts from the Cathedral and remnants from the massive fire. Info on how the Grey Nuns lived back in time. A very hard life. And a display of how people lived on that time also. I saw items that my Grandma had when I was growing up. I really learned a lot and was very thankful that we have this museum.

Experiencia positiva: They sell good books here

Experiencia positiva: Rich, historical significance. I think it may be Winnipeg's oldest building.

Experiencia fantástica: Vous devez visiter ce musée pour comprendre la presence francophone dans l"ouest canadien.

Experiencia positiva: Nice collection of items giving peak into manitoba history. Friendly staff, activities for kids as well during summer.

Experiencia positiva: Admission was only $7 and it's a great old building to tour. If you take your time and read all the historical placards you'll learn gads and gads about the history of the Metis in Canada, much of it not casting a favourable light on the Canadian government. I loved learning about the Grey Nuns as well, those women were a force to be reckoned with.

Experiencia positiva: If you like history, nice museum

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful place to learn about the past of Winnpeg

Experiencia positiva: Wow

Experiencia fantástica: Great heritage learning for all

Experiencia fantástica: Ótimo

Experiencia positiva: Full of heritage and interesting artifacts! It is difficult to see the place, from the outside, in a later hours. The sign out front is not very visible, but all in all, a fantastic adventure on the history of the city and community.

Experiencia negativa: derek longmuir

Experiencia fantástica: Visited the Museum during the Doors Open Winnipeg. Tour guide was great, and learned a lot about the history of the building itself, additional to the items inside.

Experiencia fantástica: A must if you are interested in Manitoba history. This museum is best enjoyed using a tour where the guide can share hos/her knowledge.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff were so kind and helpful. It's a small museum but steeped in history that every Canadian ought to be familiarized with.

Experiencia fantástica: This is the oldest building in Winnipeg and the first hospital in Western Canada. Anyone interested in history should visit this place.

Experiencia fantástica: The oldest building in Winnipeg. Learnt a lot for the tour guides who were so knowledgeable! A piece of history that should be visited by everyone. We have a rich history and the settlers that arrived here showed perseverance and grit. Such a great staff!
