Winnipeg’s cultural scene is as amazing as it gets and it’s one of the strongest suits of this Canadian city. If you’re not sure where to begin exploring it, art museums and galleries are a good starting point. Here are three that you shouldn’t miss while roaming through the capital of Manitoba.
Winnipeg Art Gallery
Winnipeg Art Gallery is one of the city’s leading cultural institutions and its collection includes over 24,000 works from Canadian and international artists. Its main building is connected to Qaumajuq, one of the biggest marvels of modern architecture in this city.
Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art
The contemporary art scene is thriving in Winnipeg and this is one of the best places to explore it. Plug In Institute can be visited free of charge and it features both permanent and temporary exhibits, in addition to a research center and library.
Leo Mol Sculpture Garden
If sculpture happens to be one of your favorite art forms, you probably enjoy visiting sculpture gardens in each new city you find yourself in. Located inside the Assiniboine Park, Leo Mol Sculpture Garden is Winnipeg’s best attraction of its kind and it features three hundred works by the namesake artist Dr. Leo Mol, including bronze and ceramic sculptures.
