Participate in an ongoing dialogue

Each day at the Museum is an opportunity to connect with our visitors and each other, as we explore ideas around human rights.

Work in both official languages

The Museum offers opportunities to work in both of Canada’s official languages: French and English. While not all positions are bilingual, you’ll find many opportunities to use your language abilities.

The Museum's entrance presents several ramp structures, some with grassy tops that extend all the way to the roof, which has a dome-shape formed by panes of glass resembling the folded wings of a dove. A tower rises in the center like a mountain peak. It is a sunny day with a bright blue sky and a small group of visitors are exiting the Museum.
