Visitors to the Manitoba Museum will need to use an alternate entrance this week as construction work temporarily closes the Main Street doors.

From Tuesday, Sept. 2 to Sunday, Sept. 7, guests are asked to enter through the Steinkopf Gardens door.

The entrance is accessible via stairs from Main Street or a ramp from Lily Street.

A buzzer is located near the door to alert security, and staff from the Visitor Experience team will be available during operating hours to assist.

The museum encourages anyone requiring help upon arrival to call 204-988-0576.

In addition to the entrance change, the museum will be closed from Sept. 8 to 12 for its annual cleaning week.

“We appreciate the public’s patience during this brief disruption,” the museum said in a statement. “We’re excited to welcome visitors into our newly renovated foyer and entrance later this fall.”

Updates on the construction progress are available on the museum’s website.
