2024 - Winnipeg, Manitoba - 10 of - THe Canadian Museum For Human Rights
Winnipeg's Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR).
The building was designed by American architect Antoine Predock and it opened 20 September, 2014.
Appelbaum Associates, the world's largest museum design company, was hired to develop the CMHR's exhibits.
The building is topped by the 100‐metre (328‐foot) high Israel Asper Tower of Hope.
The museum was originally conceived by media magnate Israel (Izzy) Asper, who established a foundation in 2003 to create the museum, and was brought to fruition through the efforts of members of the Asper family and others.
The central concept of the museum is the idea of an institution that will promote human rights awareness through innovative teaching initiatives.
A prominent initiative was the creation of a national student travel program to bring 20,000+ students a year to the museum.
The museum's official grand opening on 20 September 2014 was protested by several activist groups, who expressed the view that their own human rights histories had been inaccurately depicted or excluded from the museum.
Not surprising, the museum generated lots of controversy before and after construction.
First Nations musical group A Tribe Called Red had been scheduled to perform at the opening ceremony but pulled out in protest against the museum's coverage of First Nations issues.
