Reviews of Acadian Museum (Tourist Attraction)

Maggie Hamilton

My grandchildren and i really enjoyed the film and all the great displays. The woman was very kind and answered all our questions. Great to learn the history of the island and that area. Thank you so much

Anael Schuler

Nice museum. Videos are very old, but interesting anyway.

Douglas Harder

A well-prepared presentation of the trials and tribulations of the French colonists who wanted to start a new life in Acadia. It was fascinating and informative. Worth an hour and a half to understand those who first colonized the island.

Shayne Peters

Friendly staff. Nice trip to the past with interesting displays and stories to accompany them.

Bradley Rasmussen

Great museum, felt very authentic and I believe it did a good job of presenting the culture and hardships of the Acadian people. We learned a lot.

Shane Harker

(Translated) Essential museum to remember the importance of preserving French-speaking culture in America. Too bad the exhibition is a bit dated ... The introductory film dates from 1996 ... In my opinion, an upgrade would be desirable to energize the whole and interest new generations: more contemporary cultural ambassadors, interactive activities , podcast, etc ... Provided that the subsidies are there, of course. (Original) Musée essentiel pour se rappeler l'importance de préserver la culture francophone en Amérique. Dommage que l'exposition soit un peu vieillotte... Le film d'introduction date de 1996... À mon avis, une mise à niveau serait souhaitable pour dynamiser le tout et intéresser les nouvelles générations: ambassadeurs culturels plus contemporains, activités interactives, podcast, etc... À condition que les subventions soient au rendez-vous, bien sûr.

An interesting museum with very well displayed exhibits. You can tell a lot of care goes into this spot, and they have some really interesting displays. If you're an Islander you'll recognise a lot of the names spotted throughout the exhibits. I loved how they pinpointed names on the map. As someone from the Eastern end of the Island, it was cool to see all the familiar names and understand where they came from. This is one spot I would definitely recommend making a part of your day trip.

I wasn't sure what to expect here but we really enjoyed it. It's well done, and admission price was very affordable. We did this museum at the beginning of a day trip around the west side of the Island, and found it was a perfect, educational first stop. We spent just under an hour here. Staff were friendly, pleasant, and knowledgeable.
