Your online presence is required.
We recognize that you can’t all get out to see us personally. It’s a long way from Corner Brook or Saskatoon and the bus service from Iqaluit is just awful. But, you’re almost here — virtually speaking of course. We have a mandate to be a ‘national’ museum, available to all Canadians and it is here that you will be able to:
- tour our exhibitions,
- learn about the Bank’s functions,
- explore in detail the artifacts in our collection and
- read articles and research papers written by our knowledgeable curators.
Of course, you must check out the blog for up-to-date Museum news, events and the errant musings and curious activities of our staff.
