LEGACY
Native plants play a dynamic role in defining Canadian
landscapes and our sense of place. This informative travelling exhibition
about Canada's
native plants explores the beauty, diversity and vulnerability of Canada's
native plants and plantscapes.
Visitors will find out why plants are important, what threatens them,
who works to protect them, and what you can do.
Join us and
get back to your real roots this summer.Produced by the Canadian Museum
of Nature and Royal Botanical Gardens.

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.

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!.
