The Everyday Art of Transcona
Art and design are all around us, even in the most commonplace of everyday things. The Everyday Art of Transcona is a fun exploration of our collections and archives with art, design, colour, texture, and whimsy in mind. After viewing this exhibit, perhaps you will have a new appreciation for the art and design you come across every day.

CN 2747 is the Transcona Museum's largest artifact. It was the first steam locomotive built in Western Canada, as well as the first constructed at the CN Transcona Shops in April 1926. Following its retirement in 1960, CN 2747 was placed on permanent outdoor display in Kiwanis Park (now, Rotary Heritage Park). The Transcona Museum acquired ownership of CN 2747 in late 2015. The museum remains dedicated to the ongoing preservation of this historic steam locomotive.
