The Ross Memorial Museum, located in the National Historic District of St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada, is a unique showcase of a personal decorative arts collection. The museum is housed in a beautifully preserved early 19th-century house, providing a fitting backdrop for the diverse collection of artifacts.

Benefactors of the Ross Memorial Museum

The Ross Memorial Museum and its collection were generously bequeathed to the town of St. Andrews by Sarah Juliette Ross and her husband, Henry Phipps Ross. The couple's love for the town and their passion for collecting are evident in the diverse and extensive collection housed in the museum.

Visitors to the Ross Memorial Museum can gain a deeper understanding of the collection and the story of the Rosses through a variety of means. Personal guided tours, information panels highlighting artefacts in each room, self-guiding brochures on aspects of the collection, and an exhibit featuring photographs, a film of the Ross's travels, and objets d'art from around the world all contribute to a comprehensive and engaging museum experience.
