The Quartermain Earth Science Centre is located within the Earth Science Department in the Forestry & Geology building at the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, NB. The museum offers interactive tours, educational activities and public events. Since its doors opened in June 2011, the public has been invited to celebrate geological discoveries in the Maritimes, across Canada, around the world and beyond. Building on UNB’s 180 years of geological education, the Quartermain Centre has had an impact on how we can think about our planet and the many fields within the Earth Sciences.
