Kiera smiles while sitting on her walker as she planes a piece of wood with the boatbuilder at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, with the text Nova Scotia Museum Accessibility Plan.

Today’s #MuseumWeek theme is #AccessibilityMW. The Nova Scotia Museum developed an overarching accessibility plan that will guide us to become more accessible. Each of our 28 sites will use this plan to develop their own plans based on accessibility needs.
