The Musée Acadien de Caraquet was founded in 1963 with the collections of the Jean and Aldégonde Blanchard family and the François and Corinne Blanchard family as its starting point. From a private museum, the institution became a municipal museum in 1967. Today, a non-profit corporation, Les Ami-e-s du Musée Acadien Inc. acts as trustee, managing the museum for and on behalf of the municipality of Caraquet.

Drawing on its collection, other collections and regional archives, the Musée Acadien de Caraquet studies and promotes the history and culture of the people of the Acadian Peninsula.

Discover the history and culture of the people of the Acadian Peninsula through the Musée acadien’s rich collection of artifacts and documents. Each year, the museum presents a new exhibition that’s sure to please. A true journey back in time to the very heart of Acadia!
