An old friend is back at the Manitoba Museum.
The Bison Diorama, a longtime favourite display of three bison being charged down by a Métis hunter that has been under wraps for much of 2020, once again greeted visitors when the Main Street landmark opened Thursday morning.
The return of the eye-catching, 15.5-metre work created by Manitoba artist Clarence Tillenius highlights the completion of a four-year, $20.5-million capital renewal project at the museum.
The museum also lifted the curtain on a revamped Prairies Gallery, which had been called the Grasslands Gallery before renovations began in 2019.
