Churchill: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Churchill is a small town located on the western shore of Hudson Bay in northern Manitoba, Canada. Known as the "Polar Bear Capital of the World," this remote community sits at the intersection of three major biomes: marine, tundra, and boreal forest.

The town has a rich history tied to indigenous peoples, particularly the Inuit and Dene, as well as European fur trading through the Hudson's Bay Company. Churchill's cultural heritage is deeply influenced by its unique arctic location and the blend of indigenous and settler traditions. The community maintains strong connections to its natural environment through various cultural institutions and educational programs that focus on arctic research, wildlife conservation, and northern traditions.

The town serves as an important center for research on climate change, arctic ecosystems, and polar bear behavior. Beyond its natural significance, Churchill played a historical role in Canada's military history and was once home to a strategic rocket research range.
