OVERVIEW:
As a Canadian Forces (CF) Museum, and more generally a member of the Canadian Museum Association (CMA) and the International Council of Museums (ICOM), the New Brunswick Military History Museum (NBMHM) is mandated not only to preserve the past, but to interpret and promote the various aspects of our nation’s history.
