The New Brunswick Museum, located in Saint John, New Brunswick, is Canada's oldest continuing museum.[2] The New Brunswick Museum was incorporated as the "Provincial Museum" in 1929 and received its current name in 1930, but its history goes back much further. Its lineage can be traced back another 88 years to 1842 and to the work of Dr. Abraham Gesner.
