Monarchs

This delightful table-top exhibit is full of fun- filled activities to learn about the monarch and its copycat cousin the viceroy. Enjoy computer interactives, activities and specimens that will introduce you to this fantastic butterfly. Visitors will actually be able to tag a monarch butterfly, test one’s survival skills in Mexico or watch a chrysalis transform. It’s exciting, it’s fun and it’s science thru play, puzzles and games.

July 1 - September 2

Lore of Sea Monsters has reflected our fascination and fear of the unknown for centuries.
As Nova Scotians, we have been engaged through stories told by our First Nations, by mariners’ reports from the “Golden Age” of Sea Serpents, as well as some sightings made, no doubt, through the bottom of rum bottles, and by contemporary accounts from as recently as 2003.

Explore Sea Monsters at the MNH this summer and discover the truth, fiction and folklore behind these sightings of mermaids, mermen, multi-humped serpents, horned sea-serpents, fish with great red manes, giant sea turtles, “blobsters”, and even monstrous bones. Afterwards check out our in-house tide tanks and see if there are any mini-sea monsters lurking there!.
Produced by the MMA and NSM Collections Unit.
