They even made a phone call to verify the place they recommended. I'm sorry we didn't take time to see the tapestries on display in their gallery, but we were afraid of losing out of a room and having to sleep in our car.

A must stop if in the area. I had no idea about this type of rug making. The first part of the…read moremuseum shows how life used to be in the area. Then they have a live demo of how the rugs are made. Then you see some rugs and then some art made in the style of the rugs. Amazing working. It really is art. Then they have a cute gift shop. The people working here are very friendly and full of additional information on the area. They even told us where to stop and eat lunch as we were headed back to south. I highly recommend a stop. Worth the $19. Two adults and a senior. Clean bathrooms always a plus as well. They had a public computer if you needed to get on line for a bit as well. Glad we spent some time here.

This is a review for the art gallery located here (this location is also a B&B)…read more Very nice arts and crafts gallery, representing many artists from Nova Scotia and surrounding areas.

Once you visit here, you will discover his inventions and research were much more extensive! He had groundbreaking work in optical telecommunications, hydrofoils, and aeronautics. He was the 2nd president of the National Geographic Society. He had a deep interest in the new science of heredity and helped shape its direction. He was also significant in providing education and research for the hearing impaired and speech impaired. This site and museum has many artifacts showing some of his works. I would have liked to have spent more time, maybe 6 hours in all. But a tip, don't forget to look at the beauty outside of this museum as the views are gorgeous and inspiring!

This is a fantastic museum! Wow! There was so much information all over. Photos, written material,…read morea bit of recorded material. Ramps to explore for those of us who don't like stairs. And a cute gift shop. I really enjoyed learning about Alexander Graham Bell's wife, Mabel Gardener Hubbard. She sounds like quite a wonderful, smart, talented person. I am so glad they didn't shirk her story in the museum but showed her right along side her husband. I had no idea he was into flight. And that was so cool to learn! All in all, I really enjoyed this. also - there is plenty of parking. And i was able to secure a shady spot for my dogs. And - you can take the museum at your own pace. I went faster than I would have liked, because my dogs were in the car and I always worry about them. But it was a cool day. They were in the shade and just fine.

visited the gallery on a trip through Inverness in October 2023. First let me say, the photography…read moreis amazing. Great quality and incredible photos. I purchased a print, but it needed to be ordered/delivered to me. So I paid for it, and now we're into March 2024. Rob made several excuses on deliver delays, supplier issues, delays in frames, etc and even indicated it shipped in Nov but couldn't provide a tracking number. After many attempts I ask for the portrait or a refund in Dec. That's the last correspondence. ignoring calls, emails, messenger, etc. So I have no portrait and no refund. As you'll see a common thread that people who are from 'away' ordering prints leave empty handed and stay that way minus their money.

A former fisherman, Gordon Kennedy makes some highly unusual pieces of art of all sizes, big and small. Do stop to take a look. In addition, Gordon is a wonderful human being. His kindness in helping us strangers out in a very difficult situation will never be forgotten. My wife, daughter, and I are very thankful.

Unfortunately, the first time my daughters wore them, 1 out of the three charms fell off (different designs but same problem). Another charm fell off and we found it. In addition, one of the anklets had an extension on the chain to allow you to size it for your ankle--that fell off. If it had happened to one of the anklets, I would have assumed human error--but it was both. I emailed the store through their web site twice but have not heard a response.

We were struck by the pottery, particularly the glazed whale bowls and serving platters, got one of the latter. There was more than we had time to explore, a nice 2 level space that is quiet and well-organized, very nice service and a pleasant stop during a beautiful drive, much less chintzy than the other shops along the way and with a log-cabin feel. Very worth stopping for a visit!
