Welcome to the only museum in the world dedicated to human rights education and awareness. Canada’s newest national museum is a
stunning architectural icon designed by Antoine Predock. Hundreds of stories – told using the latest technologies, the oldest forms of communication and the power of art—reinforce the importance of rights for all. You can also discover the building’s amazing architecture or learn the seven sacred teachings of the Anishinaabe, Cree and Dakota people on the unique Mikinak-Keya Spirit Tour.

NEW! Opened in September 2014, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights is marking their ten-year anniversary with two fascinating and thought-provoking exhibitions. Opening early in 2024, Beyond the Beat: Music of Resistance and Change features materials on loan from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, USA, The Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, USA, Canada’s National Music Centre in Calgary, and others.

A threat to their country?, which opens in late 2024, tells the story of one of the longest running, large-scale violations of human rights
in any workforce in Canadian history. humanrights.ca
