  • THE must-go museum in Halifax

    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!
