The Manitoba Museum’s Rupert Street entrance will be closed July 22 until November for renovations to improve accessibility.

During the closure, visitors are being asked to use the museum’s Main Street entrance, where a ramp will be installed.

The building’s foyer will also undergo comprehensive renovations to include seating areas, an updated boutique and a cafe.

The $4.7 million renovations for the entrance are being funded by the province. The cost of the $1.4 million foyer renovations are being shared by the Arts, Culture and Sport Community fund and the Manitoba Museum.

The museum expects to remain open during construction, with temporary closures anticipated in early fall to allow for asbestos abatement.
