Witness the Sun Partially Obscured by the Moon
On April 8th, North America will experience a partial solar eclipse, where the moon partially covers the sun, casting a shadow on Earth. This event provides a rare opportunity to observe the sun safely with proper precautions.
Safety First: Secure Your Solar Eclipse Glasses
Looking directly at the sun, even during an eclipse, can cause permanent eye damage. To ensure safe viewing, the Manitoba Museum Shop offers certified solar eclipse glasses for purchase at $3 per pair (discounts available for bulk orders). Glasses will also be available for purchase on-site at the Museum Shop and Reception Desk.
