The Canadian Museum for Human Rights – A Reminder of the Cause

A uniquely designed structure focusing on a global need.

Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Today is usually a day when I post my Lens-Artists response for the week. As the Lens-Artists are on hiatus until January, I thought it a great time to review a trip to Winnipeg and our visit to the Human Rights Museum.

We visited there in the summer of 2019, and I told the story of the museum and its mission in January 2020. The museum is the world’s first to focus on human rights. This holiday season, take a look back at my original tour of the museum. You will find the post at this link:

Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Inspiring a Global Dialog

Happy New Year! May 2024 be a better year than 2023 has been for recognizing basic human rights.

Great post, John!

What an excellent – and necessary – theme for a museum.

It’s a beautiful space, John, and not somewhere that you would necessarily expect to find a human rights museum. Thanks for showing me around, and I hope that 2024 is kind to you and yours. Unfortunately mankind isn’t likely to change hugely in the next year.
