CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
The Transcona Museum has three gallery spaces in which the exhibits rotate on a yearly basis. Our Front Gallery holds our largest gallery space and the yearly main exhibition. The Hall Gallery displays smaller, rotating exhibits. In the Back Gallery, there are a number of varied exhibitions and our interactive Kids Zone (this interactive has been temporarily closed due to provincial regulation). The museum also maintains three offsite displays at the Transcona Legion, East End Community Club, and the Transcona Library.
