Kesite’tasikl: Honoring Ancestors Through Collections
Until November 13
Kesite’tasikl, meaning ‘they are cherished,’ offers a glimpse into the varied collections of the Nova Scotia Museum and private citizens. Why do we collect? There are almost as many answers to this question as collectors. Every object has a unique story, just as each person has theirs. The exhibit will run until November 13.
Gus Walk

At 101, Gus, the oldest known gopher tortoise, has been at the Museum for over 70 years. Why not join Gus for a snack and a stroll?
