Sites Commemorating Riel
Riel bust at St. Boniface Museum
The bust of Riel located in front of the St. Boniface Museum, 494 Taché Avenue, was erected in the late 1980s. It was sculpted by noted Francophone artist Réal Bérard and cast at a foundry in Saskatchewan. St. Boniface museum is the location of the largest collection of Riel related artifacts in Canada, including his shaving kit, locks of his hair, the moccasins and face cap he wore on the day of his execution, and the coffin his body was transported in from Regina to Winnipeg.
