Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum is a civic museum showcasing the history and culture of Franco-Manitoban and Métis people. The museum is located in the second oldest building in Winnipeg, a former convent of the Grey Nuns, which has been an orphanage, a school, a seniors' home, and the first incarnation of the St. Boniface Hospital. The museum features a permanent exhibit dedicated to Louis Riel, with artifacts such as locks of his hair, his revolver, and his shaving kit. The museum also offers workshops where visitors can learn about the ways of the Métis artisans
