The Campaign
Parrsboro's Dinosaurs
 "Where are the Dinosaurs?" was a question asked by many of the children visiting the Fundy Geological Museum. It expressed the publics desire to see large dinosaur skeletons on display in the Museum’s gallery. 

You might like to buy a bone as a special family or class project, or simply because you believe in the importance of learning about Bay of Fundy fossils.  Investing in the Buy-A-Bone Campaign at the Museum is an important investment in the Museum’s education programs.
