Manitoba Museum: The Hudson Bay Gallery Collection

The Hudson Bay Company collection spans three centuries of the Company’s history and contains more than 10,000 artifacts. The Collection is one of the world’s most significant early European Settler and Indigenous, and Aboriginal historic resources.

One-half of the Collection originated in Indigenous, Aboriginal, First Nation, Métis, and Inuit communities, and illustrates traditional art and culture, objects, artifacts, lifestyles, and unique adaptations to the world of the commercial fur trade in Canada. These artifacts were acquired by the Hudson’s Bay Company through purchase, trade, ceremonial gift exchange and donations from fur traders and their families.

Together with the Nonsuch replica, the Hudson’s Bay Company Museum Collection establishes the Museum as an international centre for northwestern North American fur trade research, and a major cultural tourism destination.
