The New Brunswick Museum
The New Brunswick Museum, located in Saint John, New Brunswick, is Canada's oldest continuing museum. The New Brunswick Museum was officially incorporated as the Provincial Museum in 1929 and received its current name in 1930, but its history goes back much further. Its lineage can be traced back another eighty-eight years to 1842 and to the work of Dr. Abraham Gesner.
Abraham Gesner was born in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia in 1797. His childhood fascination with scientific experiments led him to study in London, England where he became a physician. After only a few years of practice in Nova Scotia, he moved to New Brunswick in 1837 to become a full-time geologist. In 1838, he became New Brunswick's Provincial Geologist - the first such appointment in Canada. This position lasted until 1842 when Gesner turned to making a living by displaying his collection of rocks, minerals and curiosities to the public.
On April 5, 1842 Gesner opened the Museum of Natural History, the precursor of the New Brunswick Museum, in one room of the Mechanics' Institute on Carleton Street, in Saint John. Unfortunately, income from his newly founded museum was not enough to solve Gesner's financial problems. In 1843, his collection passed on to his creditors who, in turn, donated it to the Saint John Mechanics' Institute.
Renamed the Mechanics' Institute Museum in 1846, an annual report dating from 1863 described it as, a large and valuable collection of minerals, a great variety of zoological specimens, and many Chinese, Indian and other curiosities [that] frequently receives additions from foreign sea captains and others who get into their possession foreign articles of an attractive description.
When the Mechanics' Institute closed in 1890, the Natural History Society of New Brunswick acquired the collection and the museum was moved, first to the then new Market Building then, in 1906, to 72 Union Street. Under the care of its curator and later director, the entomologist Dr. William McIntosh, the museum's collections and activities expanded until a new building was essential. In 1934 a new Provincial museum facility on Douglas Avenue was officially opened by Prime Minister R.B. Bennett.
As of 1942, the collections, building and properties of the museum officially became the property of the people of New Brunswick. Today a Provincial institution funded by the Province of New Brunswick, the New Brunswick Museum continues to collect, preserve, study and exhibit the Province's natural and cultural heritage. As well as having a remarkable natural sciences collection, the museum has expanded to include one of the largest collections of 19th century decorative arts and Canadiana in the Atlantic Provinces.
By 1992, the museum had outgrown its Douglas Avenue location, and plans were made to develop new exhibition galleries in a central Saint John location. In April 1996, the New Brunswick Museum officially opened at Market Square in leased space in uptown Saint John (45.2729°N 66.0651°W). The Market Square Exhibition Centre offers three floors and 60,000 square feet (6,000 m2) of exhibition spaces and a wide range of public programs. The Collections Centre, the Archives and Research Library, and the Head Office continue to be situated at the Douglas Avenue location.

New Brunswick Cuisine
New Brunswick is completely spoiled by an abundance of food, and they make the most of it with recipes old and new, all bursting with flavour. This video takes you on a culinary journey through three of the standout cuisine experiences.
Grand Manan Dulse
Dulse is a sea vegetable, grown at low tide and which takes root on rocks. It is harvested by hand and sun dried on a drying ground made especially for drying dulse.
Chefs sometimes pan-fry it quickly with garlic butter to make tasty chips. You can also savour it baked in the oven, covered with cheese, then eaten with salsa. Or toss it into soups, chowders, sandwiches or salads, or add it to bread or pizza dough. This is as local as local cuisine gets! But the harvest is also shipped around the world

The Chocolate Museum, St. Stephen
In the very building where the Ganong brothers made chocolate and candy for more than a century, the Chocolate Museum thrives. When the company moved to more modern premises, a section of the former factory was transformed into a fascinating museum.
Step inside the doors and you'll feel as if you've stepped back in time. Brick walls are exposed; huge pillars support the ceilings; overhead beams and hardwood floors have all been restored to their original glory.
After a major expansion in 2009, Ganong's production area for hand-crafted chocolates was moved into the museum, where you can now see workers artfully crafting 'Ganong's Best.'
