The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 is Canada’s sixth national museum. Pier 21 was an ocean liner terminal and immigration shed from 1928 to 1971 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Nearly one million immigrants came to Canada through Pier 21, and it is the last surviving seaport immigration facility in Canada. The museum’s mission is to share the ongoing story of immigration to Canada, past to present and coast to coast to coast.  

From immigration terminal to national historic site to national museum of immigration, Canada's story of becoming has its twists and turns. 

Exhibitions are rich with first-person accounts, intimate oral histories, archival photographs, artifacts and immersive experiences. We explore themes of journey, arrival, belonging and contributions situated within larger historical, political and social contexts. The museum is the trusted caretaker of the individual voices that, woven together, reveal Canada’s ongoing story of identity and belonging. 

Maritime Kitchen Party attendees will be able to tour the museum during the event.
