The Moncton Museum annually hosts three to four travelling exhibits coming from different museums across the country. These high-quality exhibits all have accompanying education material and offer various subjects and themes to explore.
Heritage Collection
The Moncton Museum hosts a collection of artefacts and photographs recounting the region’s history. Many of these objects are part of the Museum’s permanent collection. This exhibit relates Moncton’s history from the time of the Mi’kmaq to today. There are treasures to discover from the period preceding the Deportation of Acadians, the time when agriculture was Moncton’s primary economic engine, the golden shipbuilding years and the railway era.
Reginald Ward Resource Centre
The Moncton Museum has a large collection of historical photographs and archival documents pertaining to the history of the Greater Moncton region.
