The Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library is museum in Winnipeg, Manitoba dedicated to the preservation of handcrafts. It was part of The Crafts Guild of Manitoba until 1997.
The museum started in the 1930s after the establishment of the Manitoba branch of the Canadian Handicrafts Guild (later The Crafts Guild of Manitoba) in 1928.
The library started in the 1930s and originally held resources for teaching basic skills such as knitting and quilting. It has since expanded to include historical texts and design books.
