The New Brunswick museum is the oldest continuing museum in Canada, marked as a key cultural institution in New Brunswick. Originally constructed in 1929, the building continues to be a principal repository for the province's natural and human histories. This Revitalization project involves the construction of five new wings to the north section of the museum, and structural improvements to the east wing, to connect two previous facilities. The anticipated changes will improve access between interior and exterior public spaces.

Key features of the project include:
