Beautiful and well-kept Museum featuring the original architecture and furniture of a Victorian upper-class family. The staff is great and will lead you through a very informative tour.

Great place

Don Muir

Had the most wonderful personal tour of the museum by......me remember a name, nope. Thank you to all the staff. I was on Carlton St many times in the 50's and 60's visiting grandparents a few apartments down, but I don't remember this large house. It would have been the boarding house back then, I think. It is restored to its original splendor now. Very interesting with quite a history. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

Lynn Dobbins

So glad this home was brought back to life again. Well restored and the guide was knowledgeable.

Rae Gibson

It's a place full of history and we got to see a few rooms with interpretive ppl dressed in clothes from long ago. We couldn't walk through the whole place because they had a telling of The Christmas Carol by characters in the play.

David Carey

This is a beautiful historic building. You feel at home and the staff are knowledgeable.

Taylor D

Dalnavert is a wonderful living museum of the Victorian era in Winnipeg. The house belonged to Sir Hugh John MacDonald, former premier of Manitoba and son of Sir John A. MacDonald. Tour guides tend to focus on the lifestlye and culture of Victorian era Winnpeg, while making note that the figures who originally walked the halls were complex people, who shortly after the execution of Louis Riel, began asserting their political will in ways that still impact the city today.

Bryan Preas

Loved it.

Joanne PH

Excellent museum

Kevin MacKinnon

Did the Dracula ReVamped mystery night. Was fun and interesting, although not quite as scary and creepy as I had hoped. The house is amazing and we will return during the day to find out more about the history of it.

David Sawatzky

A neat snapshot into the past.

Mary-Jo Hantelmann

Attended the Empty House event and was my first time to Dalnervert Museum. The history of the house was very interesting. The only bad thing was the flashlights we used could have been brighter. It was hard to see some of the house artifacts. Enjoyed the event and will go again to the museum

Tylene Wright

One of the best museum I've ever been to! They have great events and give great tours!!

Panda Goodie

An amazing museum with informative guides. Beautiful gardens tended by friendly volunteers.

Elly Haywood

Wonderful experience for everyone. Kids loved the scavenger hunt.

Susan Moffatt

I am extremely biased as I passionately love this heritage building, its architecture, its decorative arts and its varied events throughout the year. Right now check out its seasonal decorations and Ron Robinson's reading of The Christmas Carol which is both dramatic and inspirational and very much connected to today.The volunteers and staff are incredible and knowledgeable. It's fun to be there!!! CHECK IT OUT!!! Its gift shop is fabulous, too.

Silvia Veldkamp

Went for doors open. Nice to see how people lived in the past.
