The Grand Manan Museum showcases the human and natural history of Grand Manan, NB and is open from mid-June until late September. Some of our permanent exhibits include the shipwreck gallery and bird gallery, and
Our museum aims to increase awareness of the rich maritime heritage of Grand Manan Island and preserve it for future generations. We rely on various sources for support, including grants, volunteer help, donations, membership, and admission income. Our museum is supported by the Department of Tourism, Heritage & Culture, Archaeology and Heritage Branch.
We have extensive displays of natural and human history both indoors and outdoors – you won't be disappointed! Our tax-free gift shop offers local crafts and books, many of which are made right here in the Maritimes. We also host a lecture series on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in July and August, along with many other special events.
Our museum is a great destination on rainy or foggy days, and our air-conditioned building is perfect for hot sunny days too. We are dog-friendly, so please bring your leashed, well-behaved pet with you. Our friendly staff will orient you to the island and provide you with ideas about what to visit.
