Africville Museum

its very nice places next to Murry mackay Bridge. you can see a pleasant slopes of natural green grass

A nice, small museum that serves as a sad reminder of our all-too-recent hateful history. The demolishing of Africville is still very much within living memory, and it's very visible beyond the church interior what Halifax had done to its taxpayers here; by intentionally surrounding it with heavy industry and polluting facilities. The staff was very helpful and admission was a good price. You can read the primary documents of the city's apology and listen to the spirits celebrating the removed neighborhood. Definitely recommend the visit, and feel free to ask lots of questions!

Worth visiting. The replica is small but very educational. The staff are knowledgable and very generous with their time. So much is still in limbo with this legacy. Do visit and donate!

What a touching tribute to another shameful Canadian racist act. We were delighted by our guide and love that both people working there are descendants of people who lived in that area before their forceful expulsion. Her story of camping reunions was really touching.

The staff we're knowledgeable, friendly and very welcoming.This is a must see when visiting the province.So much untold history to be shared.

Africville was a great experience, also along with the museum. The staff were also very kind.There is no wait to enter the museum, though you have to enter and talk at the front desk.

Really great way to learn about the Africville community. We spoke to two ladies there who where super knowledgeable and passionate, they where great. Super important part of NS history

A place to ensure history isn't forgotten. Shows the stories of the people that lived here and a society that wanted them gone. Wonderful displays, audio and video info spots inside the recreated church and helpful staff to answer questions.

This was my last museum stop on my trip to Halifax. The museum was easy to find with lots of parking. The museum is located on the site of the Africville Park. The museum staff are friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable, at least one of who had personal connections to the former Africville community. As of May 25 when I visited, masking is still required, not just recommended. The museum specifically tells the story of the people who lived in Africville. The museum is laid out in a logical manner with large signs to read full of pictures and information detailing the life and spirit of the people who once lived in this area of Halifax. I do wish that the museum included more information about the history of African-Canadians in Nova Scotia in general. Several of the machines dispersed throughout the museum that play video clips are non-functioning. I'm happy I visited because it introduced me to a community that I didn't know about before.

This is a very small museum with some history about Africville and its residents. It is a bit awkward to get to if you don't know the city but the museum and property are worth a visit. It would be an especially nice place to visit in the summer for a picnic and museum tour. Some of the audio-visual displays inside were only partially functional, but I think this speaks to the need by the City of Halifax and its residents to provide greater support to museum and its mandate. The displays and acommpanying text descriptions are very well done and our guide was able to tell the story of the community in age appropriate language to a group of young children.
