Exhibitions
The exhibitions at the Pier 21 museum focus on personal stories and intercultural connections. The exhibits share experiences from many immigrants, wartime evacuees, refugees, troops, war brides and their children. There are many mediums used, including photos, movies and paintings as well as actual passports, immigration papers and ships’ menus. The interactive centrepiece of the Pier 21 museum is located in Rudolph Peter Bratty Exhibition Hall. It represents the different stages of immigration using displays, soundscapes and interactive technology. Some of the different stages include: Leaving Home, The Voyage, Immigration Hall, Customs, The Annex, Face of Immigration, WWII Deck, and Travel Across Canada.
Traveling Exhibits
Traveling exhibits at the Pier 21 museum are meant to better communicate Canadian immigrant experiences. Examples of traveling exhibits include, Nowhere to go, and no one who seemed to care by Thomas Delohery and Open Hearts- Closed Doors, both exhibits tell stories about the Holocaust.
Community Presents Program
The Community Presents Program allows people to create their own exhibitions to tell their own cultural experiences. Examples of these exhibits include the Global Chinese New Year, Spanish Rhythms of Dance and Greeks of Halifax.
Pier 21 Virtual Exhibits
The Virtual exhibits allow people to view images online. The current exhibit is A Day in May, a collection of photos taken during May of 1936. The images show the diverse cultures and the tumult and emotion that they were feeling as they arrived at the pier.
