The Northumberland Fisheries Museum is finishing up a great summer, and will be operating at reduced hours from today on. For the month of September, the museum will be open from 10 until 3, Monday to Friday, and closed on weekends, except for days that cruise ships will be docked in Pictou Harbour.

We’re restocked with signs, come in and gets yours before they sell out again! Open until 5 today, reopening at 10 am tomorrow.

Have you ever seen a white lobster? This albino beauty just arrived at the museum! We’re open 10-5 everyday.

For everyone who guessed that our last post was of a tuna reel... you were right!

A great article about life on Pictou Island in the 1960s. You don’t have to imagine what a trap house would have looked like, we have the real deal on display at the museum!

Can anyone guess what artifact this picture is of? 🧐

We had some lighthouse enthusiasts visit all the way from Newfoundland today, and we were able to find pictures of the lighthouse in their home town! You never know what you’ll see at the museum! Have you been in lately?

Seriously, how cool is this shirt?! We still have a few Atlantic Sea Monsters t-shirts left at the gift shop, and we’re open every day from 10-5, so swing in and grab yours! 🦞 #lobster #pictouproud #pictou #novascotia #northumberlandshore #pictoucounty

*Update* We got some! Thanks everyone for your help! We’re in desperate need of lobster bands at the Northumberland Fisheries Museum! If any fishers around Pictou have a small bag of bands kicking around, we’d love to have them! 🦞
