To honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Manitoba Museum will be hosting its annual Orange Shirt Days with complimentary admission to the Museum Galleries, Planetarium, and Science Gallery from Wednesday, September 30 to Friday, October 2.

Orange Shirt Days @ the Manitoba Museum feature special, all-day programming focused on the history of Indian Residential Schools and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Calls to Action.

In Alloway Hall, we’re welcoming back:

• Project of Heart, a collaborative, hands-on activity using art to bring learning and healing to those who take part
• Beautiful Cloud Dance Company, who will be doing daily powwow performances

Join special guests at the Beading is Medicine drop-in beading circle, and visit the Pop-Up Art Exhibit to view the powerful artwork from survivors of the Mackay Residential School.

Every afternoon, visit the Connecting with Collections table to become inspired by Indigenous ancestral belongings brought out from the Museum collections storage.

Please join us for a time of learning and reflection.

Thank you to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation for their support of this event.
