Doors Open 2025

Enjoy a tour of the ground floor of Dalnavert Museum and discover the building’s 130 years of architectural history. Dalnavert has been a family home, a boarding house, and, for more than 50 years, a museum. Journey back in time through the many phases of this unique structure. Dalnavert Museum and Visitors’ Centre has been a national historic site since 1990 and one of the finest examples of Queen Anne Revival architecture in Western Canada. Today the museum fosters engagement with history, culture, and much more.

Please note only the new building and main floor of the heritage building (via an alternate entrance) are wheelchair accessible.

Guided tours will run causally throughout the day. No registration required!

Doors Open Winnipeg is held annually during the last weekend of May. The public is invited to take walking tours and explore built heritage treasures, cultural institutions and other buildings of interest not normally accessible to the public, all completely free of charge! This event is both entertaining and educational, attracting tourists and local residents, and increases our civic and community pride by proudly displaying Winnipeg’s architecturally, culturally and historically significant buildings.
