About the Canadian Museum for Human Rights
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is the first new national museum to be built in nearly half a century, and the first to be built outside Ottawa. The Museum is a national and international destination – a center of learning where Canadians and people from around the world can engage in discussion and commit to taking action against hate and oppression.
