Virtual Tour of the Transcona Museum

Access

About

We are excited to present our Virtual Tour of Transcona Museum, developed in partnership with VR Manitoba. This tour gives visitors access to the museum's exhibit galleries and a collection storage space through your computer or mobile device. The tour can be accessed through our website.

ARE YOU ON A MOBILE DEVICE?

You can also navigate the tour using a VR headset. Go to this page on your mobile phone (iOS or Android) and select the Google Cardboard icon at the lower right of the virtual tour screen. This will prompt you to download the correct Matterport VR application for your device. Once the app is downloaded, you can download the Transcona Museum's Virtual Tour so you can access it even when you’re not connected to the internet. Insert your mobile device into the headset. Explore the museum by focusing on the translucent dots you see on the screen. It's recommended to use the headset while sitting. Please don't walk around with your headset on! A Google Cardboard headset is not necessary to view our Virtual Tour - the application seems to be compatible with other generic VR headsets provided your phone fits.

Organizer

Transcona Museum

The Transcona Museum is dedicated to preserving and promoting the community heritage of Transcona and the surrounding Springfield district through our collections, exhibitions and programs. Our yearly rotating displays feature the history of the community, the railroad industry, settler life, Indigenous cultures, and the natural history of the area. The museum is located at 141 Regent Avenue West, the site of a historic 1925 building that originally served as the Bank of Toronto and later the Transcona Municipal Office. The museum’s largest artifact, the CN 2747, the first steam engine built in Western Canada at the Transcona Shops is on display in Rotary Heritage Park on Plessis Road, north of Kildare Avenue.
