THE HBC MUSEUM COLLECTION

Over the years, the Hudson’s Bay Company amassed an incredible collection of artifacts relating to both the fur trade and life in northern Canada. These culturally and historically significant artifacts, donated by HBC in 1994, are now part of the Hudson’s Bay Company Museum Collection at the Manitoba Museum. The collection contains more than twenty-five thousand objects and is a reflection of HBC’s vast historical legacy.
