In 1906, the Provincial Museum (as it was called then) was formed to 'secure and preserve natural history specimens and objects of historical and ethnological interest'. Since these early beginnings, the Museum's purpose has expanded to use these specimens and objects to educate communities through our programs, exhibits and research. By clearly defining our current vision, mission and mandate, we provide ourselves with a guidepost to follow when building exhibits, delivering programs and doing research.
