Naval Museum of Manitoba, Naval heritage museum in Winnipeg, Canada
The Naval Museum of Manitoba is a military history museum in Winnipeg that displays artifacts, documents, photographs, and uniforms from various periods of Canadian naval operations. The collection covers the roles and missions of naval forces across different eras.
The museum was founded in 1980 and initially operated from the former HMCS Chippawa building. It relocated to its present location at Navy Way in 1999.
The Prairie Sailor Statue honors Canadian servicemen from the prairies who served during the Battle of the Atlantic. It represents the connection between inland communities and the nation's naval history.
The museum is typically open on Wednesdays between 9 AM and 3 PM, with group tours available outside regular hours by prior arrangement. It is helpful to confirm visiting hours in advance and inquire about any special tour options for your group.
The museum serves as an active educational space where instructors teach naval history while maintaining the exhibitions. This dual function keeps it a living place of learning rather than simply a static collection.
