The Free Meeting House, built in 1821 is one of Moncton’s oldest standing public buildings. Its purpose was to serve as a home for all religious denominations until such time as individual groups could raise the money required to build their own churches. In June 1990, the Free Meeting House was designated a National Historic Site. Visits are offered by request at the Admissions desk of Resurgo Place, adjacent to the Free Meeting House during business hours.

Elle a lieu dans la résidence des étudiants et comprend des œuvres d'artistes de la région de Moncton. C’est le 17 octobre 2005 que la Galerie d’art de l’Université de Moncton rend honneur à monsieur Reuben Cohen, avocat et homme d’affaires bien connu de Moncton, de même que son épouse Louise, qui ont été de grands bienfaiteurs de l’Université de Moncton, plus particulièrement dans le domaine des arts.
