Pilot Whale (Globicephala melas)
For more than 180 years, Canada’s oldest continuing museum has been entrusted with preserving New Brunswick’s natural and cultural heritage.
Hundreds of thousands of artifacts and specimens
Hundreds of thousands of digital media assets

That work continues today through conservation, research, community partnerships, and the ongoing care of a collection that tells the story of this province and its people. From early collections gathered in the 19th century to present-day discoveries, the museum connects generations through shared history and the natural world we call home.

As we prepare for the next chapter in our museum, our commitment remains the same: to protect, study, and share the stories that shape New Brunswick.
