Last Chance to Visit Pirates: Myth and Reality

Since opening this past June, nearly 128,000 people have experienced Pirates: Myth and Reality, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic's dynamic exhibit about pirate fact and fiction.

This Sunday, Nov. 4, will mark the exhibit's final day and the public is encouraged to visit this wildly popular display one last time before it is gone.

As a further incentive, visitors will be able to save on the price of admission as the museum's cheaper off-season rates have recently come into effect.

Highlights from the exhibit include an actual skull of a pirate executed in Halifax in 1809; the largest public display ever mounted of Oak Island artifacts; rare and deadly weapons from the golden age of piracy; and a surprising display on modern day piracy featuring a real AK-47.

The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is located at 1675 Lower Water St., Halifax.
