Phased reopening
Our phased reopening continues this week. Each museum has a “Know before you go” guide to help prepare you for your museum experience. For the months of July and August admission to all Nova Scotia Museum sites will be free.
Our Favourite Objects
Nova Scotians and people around the world can experience part of the province's expansive museum collection online, from Jurassic-aged fossils to Mi'kmaq moose hair embroidery. Nova Scotia Made, Nova Scotia Used, Nova Scotia Found is a virtual exhibit showcasing images and information about 100 artifacts and specimens that reflect the diversity of the province's culture and heritage.

Publications
Research is one of the fundamental activities of the Nova Scotia Museum. Our publications are available electronically through an Open Journal System catalogue hosted by Dalhousie University.
Learning at home
Our Museums may be closed, but we have plenty of ways to keep learning at home through our online activities, exhibits and videos.
Virtual field trips
We miss field trips too. Let us help teach some of our important provincial stories through our curriculum-based virtual programs brought into your classroom online.
