ABOUT

Exciting things are happening in Fortune! The Fortune Head Interpretation Centre is now the Fortune Head Geology Centre. We have a brand-new look, and it only took a few billion years to get there!

​

The Fortune Head Geology Centre is a great stop to make! Come take a walk through geologic time as you explore our exhibits! We have an extensive collection of rocks and minerals, and even 2.3 billion-year-old fossils! Be sure to keep your eyes open -- you may even find some dinosaurs lurking around the exhibit!

​

Learn all about the 1929 Burin Peninsula Tsunami and check out our tsunami simulator! We even have an interactive sandbox that is always a hit with the kids, big and little! 

 

​

Thanks to the generous donations from Hibernia Management and Development Company Ltd., Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, and our Province's Department of Business, Tourism, Culture and Recreation, our museum has a whole new look.
