Exhibitions and stories
Behind every object there’s a story to discover.
Through our galleries and programs, you will encounter thousands of stories featuring people, events and ideas from all over the world. We explore moments of human rights advancement and others of setback. These stories encourage us all to consider how our choices affect others, from our neighbours to people across the globe.
For recording history
Armed with a camera and his conviction, German medic Armin T. Wegner risked his life to show the world the truth. His secret photographs, taken during World War I, revealed evidence of the Armenian genocide
For spreading harmony
For many survivors of residential schools, music is a means of sharing experiences and promoting healing. This guitar, hand painted by Métis artist Christi Belcourt, was given to Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission as a gesture of reconciliation.
