Please Note: The Museum of Natural History will be CLOSED all fall, 2009

No Museum of Natural History to visit this fall? Gus the Gopher Tortoise on holiday for the first time in decades? That’s right....our building is undergoing a facelift that makes it necessary to close our doors to our favorite folks: visitors like you!

We’ll say farewell on Sunday, September. 13 and reopen refreshed in January, 2010. Everyone’s invited to drop by anytime on Sunday afternoon, September 13, to say " ‘Bye-for-now!" to Gus and enjoy some farewell refreshments!

While the museum undergoes repairs to make our space safer, healthier, and more pleasing for staff and visitors, Museum of Natural History staff will be busy reviewing and renewing our public and school programs and planning many great exhibits for 2010 and beyond. Keep visiting our website for great information about Nova Scotia’s exciting natural history topics such as critters, rocks, plants, neat places, and our environment. We’ll be posting regular updates about upcoming programs and exhibits and keep you informed about Gus’s adventures while he virtually tours Nova Scotia Museums. Stay tuned for news about our reopening celebration in 2010!
