The Living Prairie Museum is a 30-acre (12 ha) tall grass prairie preserve located between Daisy Road and Harcourt Street, east of Ness Ave. in the St. James-Assiniboia suburb in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was discovered in 1968 when two botanists from a local sub-committee of the International Biological Program surveyed Manitoba for native prairie plant communities. Of more than 60 sites that were researched, only four were found uncultivated. One of the largest undisturbed sites was discovered in a residential area of Winnipeg. Today a vestige of this original prairie community has been set aside as a City of Winnipeg Nature Park, called the Living Prairie Museum.

Hoy, un vestigio de esta comunidad pradera original ha sido declarado como una ciudad de Winnipeg: Nature Museum Park-Living Prairie. El museo es el hogar de más de 160 especies de pastos de pradera y flores silvestres, así como de una amplia variedad de vida silvestre. El Museo Vivo Prairie es una de las pocas reservas de este ecosistema vasto. Este museo se define por la interpretación histórica de la pradera de hierba, en la región de Winnipeg. El museo cuenta con un centro de interpretación con las exhibiciones sobre la historia de la pradera y ecología, así como una instalación de arte interactivo del artista Zipp Collin. (es)

Today a vestige of this original prairie community has been set aside as a City of Winnipeg Nature Park, called the Living Prairie Museum. The Living Prairie Museum is home to over 160 species of prairie grasses and wildflowers, as well as a great array of prairie wildlife. In Manitoba only 1/20 of 1% of original tall grass prairie remains. The Living Prairie Museum is one of the few preserves of this once vast ecosystem. This museum is defined by the historical interpretation of the tall grass prairie of the Winnipeg Region. The museum has an interpretative centre with displays on prairie history and ecology as well as an interactive art installation titled lost_landscape by Winnipeg artist Collin Zipp. (en)
