Our Museums

The Nova Scotia Museum is responsible for the provincial collection of over one million artifacts and specimens. As well, we oversee the maintenance of more than 210 buildings, four floating vessels and nine locomotives. 

African Heritage Month

As a founding culture, African Nova Scotian history is deep and storied. Nova Scotia has more than 50 historic African Nova Scotian communities with a long, complex history dating back more than 400 years. Diverse groups including the Black Loyalists, Jamaican Maroons, Black refugees of the War of 1812, and Caribbean immigrants established communities across the province, contributing to the rich diversity that defines Nova Scotia.
