About The New Brunswick Museum

Tracing our origins back to Gesner’s Museum of Natural History that opened in 1842, the New Brunswick Museum (NBM) is Canada’s oldest continuing museum, turning 175 years old in 2017. Highly-rated by visitors, The New Brunswick Museum is a collection-based public institution which engages people in Canada’s two official languages, contributing to the knowledge and understanding of New Brunswick’s natural and cultural heritage. The Museum has diverse and extensive collections of artefacts from New Brunswick and beyond. The NBM also is a leader in providing expertise to the network of community museums throughout the Province.

When it comes to natural history and the areas of geology, botany, zoology, and paleontology, the New Brunswick Museum researches and tells many fantastic stories of international significance. A few examples include:

Since we unearthed the oldest known shark fossil in Campbellton, researchers come from all over the world to study this critical piece in the shark evolution puzzle.
New Brunswick Museum staff helped designate the Bay of Fundy’s Stonehammer as a UNESCO-supported Global GeoPark, an internationally significant site.

We also tell the story of our living history, attesting to the strength and ingenuity of the world’s people. For instance, the discovery and our preservation of an ingeniously-designed pine sea canoe from the 1500s documents the craftsmanship and sea-faring skills of the Mi’kmaq people and stands as a symbol of pride. As well, our Regiment of the 104th flag tells the story of one of the greatest marches in human history: One thousand New Brunswickers had the grit to survive the harsh mid-winter trek to Kingston to fight for an independent Canada in the War of 1812.

Currently, the New Brunswick Museum is operating in two main facilities:

NBM Collections and Research Centre

Within the New Brunswick Museum Collections and Research Centre, collections of provincial, national, and international significance are researched and interpreted by NBM staff, university students, and visiting researchers for the preservation and dissemination of New Brunswick history, culture, and natural history. The Centre hosts researchers from around the world, responds to international queries about its holdings, mentors students, creates exhibitions for display at the NBM Exhibition Centre and at various venues around the province, and supports the production of academic and educational information.

NBM Exhibition Centre

The New Brunswick Museum Exhibition Centre in Market Square, Saint John shares the collections and stories of New Brunswick with residents of New Brunswick and visitors to the province. It is one of New Brunswick’s key cultural tourism attractions, as well as a significant venue for curriculum-based and life-long learning experiences. The Museum now offers three floors and 60,000 square feet of exhibition spaces and a wide range of public programs. Approximately 65,000 people visit the NBM each year. The NBM partners with the private sector to offer innovative programming to group tours, meetings and convention groups, festivals and special events, as well as to other targeted audiences.

Expansion Plans: Proud Past, Bold Future

As history marches on, there are many new discoveries and collections that need documenting, preserving, curating, and interpreting for the public. But the age and physical limitations of our spaces hamper our ability to carry out the world class work we must do as keepers and tellers of history. That is why we are embarking on an expansion and renewal of our Collections and Exhibition spaces.

Ample, modern facilities will let us:

Attract and bring more value to visitors to learn from history as it unfolds.
Pursue innovative research and preservation, the business of a modern museum.
Ensure the safety of our objects for future generations.

Over the past years, the Board of Directors and staff of the New Brunswick Museum (NBM), with the Province and others, have invested significant resources into the development of scenarios to address issues at both the NBM Collections and Research Centre on Douglas Avenue and the NBM Exhibition Centre in Market Square.

Through various review and engagement processes, it has been determined that a new, purpose-built building will be constructed to house and consolidate the NBM’s Exhibition Centre and the Research and Collections into one facility in Uptown Saint John. Provincial funding has been committed, and a site close to the waterfront in Uptown Saint John has been identified.

The stand-alone, purpose-built nature of the proposed new building on the waterfront will encourage and facilitate private sector and philanthropic fund raising to enhance the development. It is expected that the relocation of the NBM will increase its visibility and profile as well as complement other attractions in the area to secure Saint John’s future as vibrant and cultural port city. Further, as well as being a key provincial cultural and scientific institution, the new museum will be a social hub and major tourism attraction.

The ultimate objective is to create a facility that:

Properly houses, exhibits, and interprets the amazing collection and tells the related stories.
Allows for the great research, scientific and conservation activity that the NBM undertakes.
Be representative of all of what is now called New Brunswick and the people who live here.
As well as providing a functional space to house and conserve the collection well into the future, the new facility will be a quality, appropriate, and standout piece of iconic architecture.

In short, a renewed New Brunswick Museum will be top of mind for visitors and key to the future evolution of the province. While the Museum is funded in part by the Province of New Brunswick, additional support is needed from donors, funders, members, and sponsors to allow us to continue to build on our record of excellence with world-class collections, research, galleries, programs and exhibitions at the New Brunswick Museum.
