The museum is on eight levels. Each level is devoted to a different aspect of human rights around the world, historically and in the present. From a definition of human rights to exploration of indigenous people's perspective, from rights in Canada to human rights around the world, from examining the Holocaust to examining the definition and origin of the word "genocide", and a look at what that meant for five countries specifically. And there is much more. Art and expression, women's rights, a special exhibit of photography of blind and nearly blind people. An exploration of the rights of the disabled. More and more. They cover a lot of ground!
Level eight is a glass and steel tower which can either be climbed via a beautiful (and not scary) spiral staircase, or one can ride a spectacular elevator to get to the top.
As you either ascend or descend between levels, you walk along ramps with lighted alabaster sides and the result is breathtaking. I will post a few photos and perhaps they will give some idea of what this museum is.

This museum is worth a special trip to Winnipeg.
