This is a very interesting exhibition. The Halifax explosion information is excellent because it is not something we generally know much about. The Titanic connections are also fascinating.
I've been twice now to this museum. I really enjoy all of the amazing history contained here. The Titanic and the halifax explosion are both amazing exhibits.
I really enjoy going to the museum,i always come away with some new facts or knowledge of the Maritime s that might not have been obvious.Great place to learn how we are connected to some other areas of the word.Nice place to go rain or shine.Easy to navigate the displays and to see the models.I have been there more then once and enjoyed it every time.
This museum has something for everyone, from Theodore Tugboat to the Titanic exhibit. There are models of hundreds of boats and ships, plus an excellent display about the Halifax Explosion. Well laid out with clear explanations and good visuals. Worth a visit for all ages.
Nova Scotia has a long sea going history, being a peninsula. Great place to learn about all ships, ocean environment, and all aspects of marine history. I really enjoyed my visit here and would highly recommend a visit here.
The place was clean and had good descriptions and models of many times in the 20th century at sea. There was a parrot exhibit there too.
Being a huge fan of Tall Ships and ship models, I make a trip down to the Maritime Museum at least a couple of times a year. I've always been impressed by their collection of Royal Canadian Navy ship models as well as tall ships and smaller vessels, some famous, some not so much, but all of them so well crafted down to the minutest of details. There are also some lovely paintings and maritime artifacts, as well as exhibits on both the Titanic and the Halifax Explosion. Also, wander through the old William Robertson and Son Ship Chandlery, a restored shop as it looked at the turn on the century. This has been here since I was a little girl and it's like stepping back in time. Well worth the price of admission!
Like the building and the information...got a wee bit lost but got back on track. I brought a friend whose parents landed in Halifax so it was more special for him than myself
You can spend a reasonable amount of time here, with it,s models and stories of ships and their histories and what people went through. Museum staff are very friendly and knowledgable.And while you might think the titanic would be the star attraction, it,s actually a parrot called merlin who continually tries to steal the show.Well worth the visit.
I really love the MMA. If you're walking the waterfront on a busy summer day you can easily get away from the crowds, get out of the sun, into the air conditioning, and take a break. The Halifax Explosion exhibit always grabs me and they rotate new exhibits in and out of the place throughout the year. Plan on about an hour and take your time.
