Kids on Deck

Boardwalk redevelopment now underway. 

The museum is undertaking a significant project to develop a wonderful, new and vibrant harbour frontage. 

While we make these improvements, please take extra care as you move around the site, keep an eye on our website for updates, and you can always ask one of our friendly team members for assistance.
