An Ecomuseum is a “museum without walls”. In other words, nature and culture are explained at the places
where things happen or have happened and in their entirety with the focus on the symbiotic relationship between people and
nature. This is radically different to the traditional museums that are primarily collectors of objects, or the open-air
museums that are collections of houses moved from their original place to a museum.

The core of the ecomuseum
are the 11 inaugural, independent, cultural heritage, and nature sites along the 55 kilometre stretch of the Miramichi
River. They are linked via a water taxi system and trail network. Click on the mapfor a larger view of their locations.
You will see a “face-lift” at these sites: enhanced hiking/walking trails; improved marine
access; construction of new public spaces and entertainment facilities; and the expansion of the interpretive offerings i.e.
interactive displays, geocaching, theatre productions, genealogy.
