Welcome aboard!

The breath-taking Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic provides the ultimate waterfront experience for the entire family! Enjoy thrilling activities, a fishing schooner and trawler, boats, films and exhibits! Visitors can have a yarn with Old Salts, have a delightful meal, shop and experience the best of Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic is proud to be the home of Bluenose II.

We're quite easy to find, and once here, it's even easier to stay. Lunenburg abounds in fine accommodations, restaurants, services, stores, boutiques and nooks and crannies.

Visiting the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic is a fun event for everyone. Plan to spend a lot of time browsing our exhibits or exploring the decks and passageways of a real ship at dockside. Please note that our wharf and vessel areas have rather uneven walking surfaces! We recommend wearing comfortable footwear.

An on-site restaurant makes taking a break as easy as pie.

The distance estimator, on NovaScotia.com, is a handy way to find out driving distances and times from various points in the Province.
