Exhibits
The museum is primarily focused on the paleontological discoveries made at nearby Wasson Bluff, a geological site preserving fossils from around the time of the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, including Canada's oldest known dinosaurs such as the prosauropod dinosaur, Plateosaurus engelhardti and the theropod Coelophysis. It also contains exhibits on local minerals, as well as an explanation of the Bay of Fundy tides.[5]

The museum also has a gift shop and a laboratory where researchers are currently uncovering the skeleton of a 200-million-year-old Prosauropod dinosaur. It also hosts Nova Scotia's Gem and Mineral Show every year. The Gem and Mineral Show has been held annually for more than 40 years.[6]
