The Moncton Museum is a municipal museum located in Moncton, New Brunswick. The museum is dedicated to keeping a record of the history of the Metro Moncton area. It does so through the preservation of various mediums which include but are not limited to photographs, census records, and a research library with relevant texts and genealogical records. Approximately one third of the display area is devoted to the permanent displays and the remainder is used for traveling shows.
The museum opened in 1974 and the design incorporates the facade of the old Moncton City Hall. The museum is located near downtown Moncton next to the historical Free Meeting House which is one of the oldest surviving structures in the city.
The museum is currently closed as it is undergoing major renovations.
