New Iceland Heritage Museum

The New Icelandic Heritage Museum located in Gimli, Manitoba is dedicated to preserving the history and artifacts of the large population from Iceland who immigrated to the Interlake region of Manitoba and now referred to as New Iceland.

The museum is unique in the fact it is located in three locations:

• Waterfront Centre home to a multi-media display of the history and artifacts of the immigrants.

• Lake Winnipeg Visitors Centre houses a 500 gallon aquarium hold species of fish from the lake and history and artifacts of early fishing.

• Gimli Public School 1915 home to an original classroom and artifacts used by the Huldufólk (hidden folk) from Iceland.
