Manitoba Electrical Museum & Education Centre

Manitoba Electrical Museum & Education Centre Travel through the pre-electricity days of the late 1800s to when electricity was first used in Manitoba.

The Manitoba Electrical Museum and Education Centre is committed to sharing the history of electrical development in Manitoba by providing a greater understanding of how energy is produced and delivered while promoting safe and efficient energy choices. Discover the beginnings of hydroelectric power in Manitoba and learn how generating stations are built in Manitoba. Don't forget to take a look at

our display of electric appliances dated as early as 1908! See our new exhibit "Sustainable Development: Caring for Our Common Future" located downstairs. The exhibit illustrates how hydropower as a renewable energy source contributes to the goals of sustainable development for the safety of our planet and its natural resources. The exhibit highlights Indigenous voices and introduces concepts of sustainability, renewable resources, sustainable development, as well as the consequences of unsustainable development.

Can't wait to do this again next year!

We are located at 680 Harrow Street in Winnipeg. The building we're in was built in 1931 for the Winnipeg Electric Railway Company as a substation and it is still a working substation. Some of the original panels are still in use today.

We're one of the Doors Open Winnipeg participants that open at 10 instead of noon but we close at 4.
