Canadian Museum for Human Rights

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is a national museum and Crown corporation in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, near The Forks. "Explore the subject of human rights with a specific but not exclusive reference to Canada, to enrich the public's awareness of human rights, to promote respect for others, and to foster thought and conversation", according to the museum's mission statement.

The CMHR was established in 2008 when Bill C-42, an amendment to the Museums Act of Canada, was passed. It is Canada's first new national museum since 1967, and it is also the first national museum outside of the National Capital Region. On September 19, 2014, the Museum performed its opening ceremony. The Friends of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights is the non-profit organization in charge of recruiting and sustaining all types of philanthropic support for the Museum.
