I picked up an intriguing brochure for this gallery in Halifax. We made a detour out to the area when I saw there was a map with other arty places to visit. The artists are lovely and have originals, prints, and cards for sale. Worth a look.

I have always loved model trains and amusements parks. When on a family vacation I always had to go to see all the parks, and ride all the trains. Museums of toys and trains and LEGO displays were always a thing for me. Therefore in creating this display it is a labor of love. I sustained a serious back injury in 2015, and find it hard to do many things that are normal in day to day life, so somehow I found hope in creating this. With the help of many friends and family It has come this far. It is always a work in progress. If you wish to see the display please use the BOOK NOW button to make an appt so that you can have a private tour and enjoy your time here. I have Vintage toys, Model trains, and huge LEGO display with trains running and animated sequences. Please come and enjoy, see for yourself what others are saying in the reviews section. It makes me feel good at heart knowing that I can do something I like to make others happy. -Fred Open June 1st to Mid October.
6. Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,880 reviews
The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 is located in the national historic site at the Halifax seaport where nearly one million immigrants landed in Canada from 1928 to 1971. Today, as Canada’s sixth national museum, we share the ongoing story of immigration to Canada—past to present, and coast to coast. Our exhibits immerse visitors in the immigration experience and allow for a deeper understanding of how newcomers shape our country. Our staff and collections provide opportunities for visitors to discover the countless journeys to Canada and find their own family’s connection to the story. Countless Journeys. One Canada.

Visited here on our first full day in Halifax and a short walk from our stay. Would certainly recommend the guided tour and our guide George, an immigrant who passed through Pier 21 added immensely to our enjoyment, being able to bring to life the process and hopes and fears of all those who journeyed to a new world. With many artefacts donated by families this offers a great insight into the development of both Halifax and wider Canada and its multi-cultural make-up today. Great visit.
