Acadian Museum
Musée Acadien
Welcome
Since April 1, 1996, the Acadian Museum has been one of the seven sites of the Prince Edward Island Museum and Heritage Foundation, the province’s museum network. The Museum and Heritage Foundation of Prince Edward Island operates seven provincial museums and heritage sites, providing Islanders and visitors with the opportunity to discover our Island’s heritage and culture.
Its purpose is to “study, collect, preserve, interpret and protect the human and natural heritage of Prince Edward Island for the use, benefit and enjoyment of the people of the province.”
New this summer!
On Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10 to 11 :30 a.m., we are offering craft workshops to let you create your own souvenirs in Acadian colours!
To participate, you must reserve no later than 4 p.m. the day before to ensure that we have enough participants. There is a minimum of 4 participants needed to confirm the workshop will be given.
In the time allotted, you will have the chance to create a few among these following items: old-time fidget spinner, bookmark, bracelet, keychain, small wall-hanging or an Acadian pompom for your rearview mirror. Our host, Alvina, will speak about Acadian customs and answer your questions while you work on your projects.
The workshop fee is $20 plus taxes per person and is charged only on arrival and includes the visit to the museum.
If you have reserved and need to cancel, contact us at museeacadien@gmail.com or 902-432-2880 as soon as possible.
