SAINT JOHN, N.B.—The construction phase has begun on the New Brunswick Museum (NBM) revitalization project.

The museum recently entered the next phase of its Revitalize NBM project with a groundbreaking ceremony at 277 Douglas Ave. in Saint John.

This phase involves partially rebuilding and expanding the museum while maintaining its historical facade. The work is expected to take about two-and-a-half years. The reopening is anticipated for 2027.

The project is a collaboration involving the provincial and federal governments and the museum’s board of directors. The provincial government is contributing $58 million while the federal government is providing just under $50 million. The museum will also contribute through its ongoing capital campaign.

“The renovated and revitalized New Brunswick Museum, funded in part through the Green Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, will help preserve and highlight the province’s rich and diverse culture for generations to come,” said Saint John-Rothesay MP Wayne Long in a statement. “I am thrilled to be here for this groundbreaking ceremony and cannot wait to see the final product when all the renovations and construction are done.”
