School Tours (P-12)

A guided tour of the Museum of Industry brings Nova Scotia’s working history to life. Led by our staff and volunteers, students’ journey through time—from early grist mills and the Age of Steam to the arrival of electricity and the service industry. Along the way, they’ll explore how work, technology, and how everyday life have evolved.

Curious minds are encouraged to ask questions like: How does a steam engine work? Why did trapper boys tuck their pants into their socks? Who used a glass hammer—and why? These and many other discoveries await around every corner.

Tours include all hands-on displays and last approximately 90 minutes.
