The New Brunswick Museum is the oldest continuously operating museum in Canada, dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich natural and cultural heritage of New Brunswick.
With diverse and important collections ranging from art and cultural artefacts from destinations near and far to natural history specimens to extensive archives, The New Brunswick Museum provides a window into the compelling stories and traditions that have shaped New Brunswick.
Incorporated as the Provincial Museum of New Brunswick in 1929 with a commitment to preservation, conservation, education, research, and community engagement, the NBM serves as a hub for exploration, learning, and appreciation of New Brunswick’s vibrant past and present. In partnership with institutions and communities, NBM collects, preserves, researches and interprets material to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of New Brunswick provincially and globally.
NBM’s services extend to the public from all regions, languages and cultures of the province. Our collections and programs are loaned and shared extensively with galleries, museums, cultural and heritage centres in New Brunswick and beyond for the enrichment of visitors, students, educators and researchers from around the world. Through the efforts of professional curators, conservators, and scientists, world-class collections, research, and exhibitions continue to be developed and enhanced at the NBM.
