NOVA SCOTIA MUSEUM

The Nova Scotia Museum continues to be responsible for the provincial collection of over one million artifacts and specimens. As well, it oversees the maintenance of more than 210 buildings, four floating vessels and nine locomotives. The collection continues to develop through donations, exchanges, purchases and field collecting providing Nova Scotians with a rich resource for many purposes: research, education program, exhibits, publications, interpretive programs and special events... Today, the Nova Scotia Museum, consisting of 28 museum sites, is the most decentralized museum in Canada. It is also one of the oldest provincial museums in the country.
