Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum, also known as the Saint-Boniface Museum, is Winnipeg's oldest remaining building and a national historic site. The museum is dedicated to preserving and interpreting the heritage of the Métis people and the Francophone community in Western Canada. Visitors can explore exhibits on Métis culture, including traditional clothing, tools, and art, as well as the history of the Grey Nuns who built the convent. The building itself, with its thick stone walls and wooden architecture, offers a glimpse into 19th-century life. It's a must-visit for those interested in Canadian history and Indigenous stories.
