Resources
Construction of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights is a top priority. We wish, however, to give our Web site visitors a view of the interests and preoccupations of a museum such as ours by providing virtual expositions on human rights. We are only just beginning and this section of the Web site will grow significantly over time. Please visit this section of our web site regularly to see how our online expositions evolve.
