When I was there I got to find out more about my ancestors who immigrated to Canada from Ireland.

This is THE museum everyone should go, whether they are visiting Halifax or coming to visit Canada (ok, it can be a huge detour), but so worth it. 5 hours was not enough, no kidding! I loved the balance between traditional museum setting and modern technology. All the senses of the visitors are being required to visit this amazing place.

Kind of spooky, but definitely the most interesting tour I've ever been on! I especially liked hearing the stories of individuals who were passengers on the titanic!

The old and the new stories makes you realize the truth in the statement "the more things change, the more they stay the same".

Grand parents came through with 6 children. It was the Marmara family.
Pier 21, located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is Canada's national museum of immigration. It operated as an ocean liner terminal and immigration shed from 1928 to 1971. It became an immigration museum in 1999.
