International Museum Day is held on May 18th each year. This day was established to raise awareness about how "museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.” (https://icom.museum/en/).
At the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History, we invite you to spend part of the day with us, learning in the museum exhibits and with our staff.
The Museum will be open 9:30am - 4:30pm and admission is free!
