Right on the water in downtown Lunenburg, the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic is in a bright red building celebrating the life of a fisherman. On the first floor is an aquarium, showcasing mostly various sea life that fishermen seek out rather than unique and pretty fish that are typically seen in aquariums. There is even an extremely rare blue lobster named "Popeye" on display. Another great fish to see is the flatfish, which is a fish that has both eyes on the same side of the body and seems to always be "laying down".
On the next floor, you can view various types of fishing ships and equipment used in this industry. For anyone who is a fishing fan, this is a great place to learn more about the history of fishing. There are also two fishing boats in the dock that one can visit.
