Doors Open Winnipeg is a great chance to explore some of Winnipeg's most interesting building, usually not open to the public. Many historic buildings participate, giving you a behind the scenes view of some great buildings and history, all for free. There will also be free waling tours in the Exchange District and a free screening of a documentary about Winnipeg's General Strike at Cinematheque. Some of the buildings you can check out are Bank of Montreal (corner of Portage and Main), Government House (on Kennedy, next to the Legislative Building),The Law Courts, the Naval Museum of Canada, St. Mary's Cathedral, the Winnipeg Fire Museum, the Winnipeg Railway Museum, and the Vaughn Street Jail, which has costumed performers from the days when this now abandoned jail was in full use.
