New Iceland Heritage Museum

“Please visit the the New Iceland Heritage Museum where the story of New Iceland, a unique chapter in Canada’s history, unfolds through the use of dynamic multi-media exhibits featuring an 18- foot history mural and a painting that “comes to life”. A sixty-seat theatre, a tent and cabin dioramas complete the experience. ”  Julianna Roberts, Executive Director

The New Iceland Heritage Museum (NIHM) greets visitors from around the world year round, seven days a week, at its main multi-media location in the The Waterfront Centre.

Through the presentation of dynamic permanent exhibits, temporary and traveling exhibits, and through a variety of workshops, lectures and programs the New Iceland Heritage Museum (NIHM) strives to serve the public as a valuable community resource that meets the increasing needs of new audiences and that presents relevant topics and issues in a rapidly changing world.

The museum’s mandate continues to be broad and includes interpreting the history and development of New Iceland; the natural history of Lake Winnipeg and its fishing industry; and to increase cultural awareness through permanent, temporary and traveling exhibits. www.https://nihm.ca/
