On the Road: Bluenose II Mobile Museum
In collaboration with the Province of Nova Scotia’s Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage, MRA Canada built and developed the Bluenose II mobile museum. The exhibit provides visitors an opportunity to explore the legacy of the fishing schooner Bluenose II and its contribution to Canada’s maritime heritage. The mobile museum was featured recently at the Tall Ships Festival Kingsville in conjunctions with the 2019 Tall Ships Challenge Great Lake Series, the weekend of August 16th.
Housed in a 28’ custom built exhibit trailer, the fun and interactive mobile exhibit highlights information on the rich history of the schooner and its Canadian significance. Full of commanding photography, compelling stories and multimedia interactives, the exhibit helps educate visitors on the schooner’s beginnings as a Canadian icon. The exhibit joins the ship at each of its port destinations across Canada and was proudly built at MRA’s Canadian headquarters in Windsor.
