General Comments
This is a fantastic art gallery, especially for a city of Winnipeg's size. It is home to a lot of unique art, and the last few years have seen a great variety of exhibitions, both traveling shows and local features. It has a lovely roof-top restaurant that can be used for special events, like weddings, and a theatre that features the Cannes best commercials show every year. Highly recommend.
