The Nova Scotia Museum community is mourning the loss of Executive Director of Ross Farm Museum, Peter Cullen, who passed away on Tuesday evening. Cullen had been a member of the Nova Scotia Museum family for four years and had made significant connections with his colleagues during that time.
Cullen was known for his passion for museums and his tireless work as an advocate for the industry. He was the ANSM Board Secretary and had played a crucial role in developing the TRACK program, learning with us at the Unlocking Community Museum Collections sessions, and helping to lead ANSM's advocacy efforts with the provincial government.

Many of Cullen's colleagues have shared their memories of him, describing him as a professional, creative, and down-to-earth person who was always willing to lend a helping hand. He was also known for his sense of humor and his love of fishing, as evidenced by the fishing vest he proudly wore during virtual meetings.
In honor of Cullen's memory, the ANSM Board has voted to rename their conference bursary the "Dr. Peter Cullen Memorial Bursary." This bursary supports ANSM members attending their annual conference or symposium and will serve as a lasting tribute to Cullen's contributions to the industry.
