Many people think of the Manitoba Museum as a fantastic place to spend the day with family and friends, but behind the scenes are a talented team of curators, who are consistently adding to what we know about our long-term history, geology, ecology, and environment. The ground-breaking research conducted at the Manitoba Museum has won a place in the Guinness Book of World Records, extended the fossil records of animal groups by millions of years, explored the achievements of Indigenous Peoples and cultural communities in Manitoba, and uncovered new species. Due to this success, our curators are highly respected by other institutions as experts in their fields.
