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.

SUMMARY:Keeping Time: The Art and Heritage of Mennonite Clocks – Closing Feb. 25
DESCRIPTION:Open during regular operating hours from February 17 to 25. Exhibition closing February 25\, 2024. \nDiscovery Room\, Museum Galleries \n  \nAn exhibition developed by Kroeger Clocks Heritage Foundation in partnership with the Mennonite Heritage Village. \nKeeping Time: The Art and Heritage of Mennonite Clocks\, provides an in-depth look into the craft and art of Mennonite clocks made in Europe and transported by immigrants to the Americas over the last two centuries. Beautiful in and of themselves\, each clock also has an important story to tell about its owners and their experiences of migration. \nThese clocks were made by a limited number of Mennonite clock manufacturers working in a cottage industry with small workshops in southern Ukraine. Extended family members pitched in to build and decorate the clocks. They were often purchased as wedding gifts for young couples\, to be hung in their living rooms\, and many were passed down to younger generations. The clocks came to symbolize family\, permanence\, and stability. It is no wonder that during times of migration\, whether forced or by choice\, these clocks were often carefully packaged and carried\, by foot\, cart\, train\, or boat\, across thousands of miles\, sometimes to multiple continents. \nThe Mennonite diaspora around the world is represented in these clocks\, and all were transported by families from Ukraine to Germany\, Canada\, the United States\, Mexico\, Paraguay\, Russia\, and more. Hundreds made there way to Manitoba from 1874 to the present over multiple migration events\, including initial Manitoban settlement in the 1870s\, the Bolshevik revolution and civil war in Russia\, followed by Soviet pressure on sectarian religious groups\, and dispersal and exile during and after WWII. \nThis temporary exhibition features 15 Mennonite clocks\, made between the late 1700s and early 1900s and transported to Manitoba by Mennonite immigrants over many decades. These beautiful timepieces were made in Mennonite workshops in Ukraine\, and represent Mennonite migration stories\, mechanical ingenuity\, folk art\, and family life. \nGet tickets today! \nAccess to this exhibition is included in General Admission to the Museum Galleries.
