The Manitoba Electrical Museum follows the history of Manitoba's electricity through six themes from the 1870s to the present and looks into the future. The lower level features a new exhibit, Sustainable Development: Caring for Our Common Future. Electricity and electrical safety movies can be shown in the orientation room on the lower level. Visit the online Powering up Rural Manitoba exhibit in the Virtual Museum of Canada’s Community Memories. Take a virtual trip through the 1940s and 1950s when the Manitoba Power Commission embarked on the ambitious goal to connect 50,000 farms in 10 years to the province’s growing electrical grid. See the pictures and hear the stories from those who were a part of this growth

This museum is so adorable. The staff/volunteers are so friendly and helpful, they seem to really enjoy being there. I was expecting more of a reading tour with not many activities so I was unsure how a child would take it. To my surprise, there were things to interact with just when the reading got "boring" to her which made pacing nice. There was also a little scavenger hunt with a prize at the end which I thought was a nice touch. There were even more interactive displays and things to do downstairs. My only complaints would be that I think one of the displays might be broken? And that I would have liked the museum to be open longer, it's impossible to take someone after work/school.

My husband and I visited the museum today. It was very interesting to learn the history of Manitoba electrification and see old electrical appliances from the 1900s. Very friendly staff.

Great place to take kids, they have old appliances on display, a toaster from 1908 was eye opening. Plan on an hour max as this is a small museum. Washrooms were super clean.

Very educational space for any age. Run by group of amazing volunteers and had someone as guide, he was very helpful to explain the history and full of information.
