An important aspect of the Association’s support for its membership is the provision of relevant and cost-effective training for museum workers in Nova Scotia.
ANSM hosts symposiums and conferences as part of its commitment to provide cost-effective, relevant training for members of our museum community. These events take place throughout Nova Scotia and provide opportunities to learn about topics that address the needs of museum staff and volunteers. They also provide an opportunity to network with other museum professionals from across the provinces.
