Following a $10M capital campaign in 2010 and 2011 which included the development of 12 new permanent galleries, a renovated Arts & Exhibition Centre, and the Buhler Welcome Centre addition, the Children's Museum reopened to the public in celebration of its 25th birthday on 4 June 2011 [REF].
The majority of the funding for the renovations came from the federal government ($2.5 million under Canadian Heritage's Canada Cultural Spaces Fund and $1.25 million under Infrastructure Canada's Infrastructure Stimulus Fund), the provincial government ($1.25 million) and the City of Winnipeg ($446,000).
