SUMMARY:The Paper Trail to the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act
DESCRIPTION:The Paper Trail to the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act is a special adaptation of the award-winning landmark exhibition that debuted at the Chinese Canadian Museum in Vancouver on July 1\, 2023 – the 100th anniversary of the Act. It takes an unflinching look at Canada’s exclusion years when\, for the first and only time in Canadian history\, the country banned the entry of a single community and issued immigration cards to Chinese who were born here. The exhibition focuses on the human impact and personal cost this law inflicted on Chinese people in Canada. The displays reveal haunting stories of loss\, despair and fear\, as well as powerful examples of courage and perseverance. \nCurated by award-winning Chinese Canadian historian Catherine Clement\, The Paper Trail exhibition involved extensive crowdsourcing of private documents and stories from families across Canada\, as well as hundreds of hours of painstaking research. \nPlan your visit today \nEntrance into this temporary exhibition is included with a Manitoba Museum All Attraction Pass. Manitoba Museum Members and Indigenous Peoples can access this exhibit at no charge. \n  \nThe Paper Trail exhibition opened May 1\, 2026 in recognition of Asian Heritage Month\, and is on display in the Manitoba Museum’s Discovery Room and Urban Corridor until April 2027. \n  \n  \nThis exhibition made possible with the support of Canadian Heritage.

DESCRIPTION:Image: Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium \nThe aurorae\, or northern lights\, are one of the most beautiful and mysterious sights in the night sky.

Aurorae explores the connection between solar activity and northern lights\, highlighting the latest science and looking ahead to the upcoming solar maximum next year. \nEnjoy a visit to the Planetarium with an All Attraction Pass or your Manitoba Museum Membership!

As a joint operation by Canada and the United States\, numerous arduous field trials and bizarre scientific experiments took place in order to protect North America from Soviet invasion. Curator of History Dr. Roland Sawatzky explains how the Cold War was never more frigid than at Fort Churchill. \n  \nCurator Conversations will connect you to the stories that shape our understanding of the natural and cultural world. Don’t miss your chance to engage\, ask questions\, and see the Manitoba Museum like never before!
