The Costume Closet

The Costume Closet has been deemed a one-of-a-kind collection—like no other in Canada! With over 30,000 items it’s no wonder! Housed within its 4,000 square foot building are pieces of Manitoba and Canada’s history. Some examples are a cape that was bought in the Eatons store in Montreal before one was built in Winnipeg, a man’s black wool bathing suit that was bought in England before 1910, and authentic military uniforms worn in WW2. Costumes from this collection have been used in several movie productions.

Tours are available upon request, and the opportunity to view this collection is one not to be missed! The Costume Closet is open Mondays and Thursdays from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm.
