International Museum Day
May 18th is International Museum Day! A day to celebrate how museums serve our communities.
The 2023 International Museum Day theme is Museums, Sustainability and Well-being. Museums across the globe work to raise awareness by supporting climate action, fostering inclusivity, tackling social isolation and improving mental health.
Come see how we support this international theme, and celebrate all that the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic has to offer at our season re-opening on May 20, 2023.
Salt Store Gift Shop
The Salt Store Gift Shop offers an exciting array of items attractive to every shopping desire and budget. Located at the entrance to the Museum, located on the first floor of the oldest building in the Museum complex. Originally built by W. C. Smith and Company Limited in 1899, the structure was used as a salt storehouse for the fishing industry, as well as a warehouse and cooperage.
