Sneak peak of the new Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada


As we head into spring and Manitobans looking forward to summer vacation, we’ll be looking forward to seeing construction of our new museum begin! The first shovel will hit the ground on May 1, signifying the official start of seeing our brand new, state-of-the-art Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada come to life.

Here’s a sneak peak of what we we have planned for our exterior so far:
