Winnipeg

The Human Rights Museum was opened in 2014 near The Forks in downtown Winnipeg. Its mandate is to "explore the subject of human rights with a special but not exclusive reference to Canada, to enhance the public's understanding of human rights, to promote respect for others and to encourage reflection and dialogue”. There in an interior ramp made from Spanish white marble which winds up all 7 floors - the architecture, exhibits and presentation is stunning.

Near the museum is the sculpture “Forever Bicycles” by Al Weiwei (2014) constructed from 1254 bicycles.

Winnipeg continues to impress - the downtown area is a great place to while away a day waiting for the 23:30 departure of the VIA Canadian #2 bound for Toronto.

And they won the Grey Cup.
