CHRM opening day Despite the challenges and the sheer enormity of it all, The Museum for Human Rights has opened its doors in Winnipeg. Ten core galleries have been designed to reach out to visitors in interactive ways. Inviting visitors to connect to diverse issues involving human rights, the museum presents various viewpoints, from indigenous people to the atrocities of the Holocaust in WWII. Embracing every individual’s need to understand fundamental rights and freedoms in their own circumstances has motivated many to make this unique building more than just an idea. With time and important contributions, this museum has become a reality for the world to view humanity at its worst in order to be a part of it at its best. It's a great addition to the community and an important addition to the creative and cultural collective of Winnipeg. CHRM closeup
