Hello everyone,

Make the Nova Scotia Museum your destination this March Break! Don’t miss out on a wide range of fun-filled, hands-on activities for the entire family.

Lisa Bower, Assistant Curator/Registrar, Cultural History Collection, Nova Scotia Museum

During the past year we have been exploring the impact of the Museum's first Curator, Dr. David Honeyman, and his work representing Nova Scotia at the 1862 International Exhibition in London. Today, as we celebrate the 200th birthday of John Ruskin (Born Feb. 8, 1819), it is exciting to have recently discovered a historical connection between Ruskin and the early geology collection of the Nova Scotia Museum.
