Sea Monsters Exhibit
July 01, 2008
- September 02, 2008
Lore of Sea Monsters has reflected our fascination and fear of the unknown for centuries. As Nova Scotians, we have been engaged through stories told by our First Nations, by mariners’ reports from the “Golden Age” of Sea Serpents, as well as some sightings made, no doubt, through the bottom
of rum bottles, and by contemporary accounts from as recently as 2003.
Explore Sea Monsters at the MNH this summer and discover the truth, fiction and folklore behind these sightings of mermaids, mermen, multi-humped serpents, horned sea-serpents, fish with great red manes, giant sea turtles, “blobsters”, and even monstrous bones. Afterwards check out our in-house tide tanks and see if there are any mini-sea
monsters lurking there!.
