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.
Don't miss this chance to witness a spectacular celestial event!
