Explore the Confederation Chamber, an accurate replica of the Province House site where Canada was born.
Queen Elizabeth II opened the Confederation Centre of the Arts in 1964 as Canada’s national memorial for the Fathers of Confederation and commemorated the historic Charlottetown Conference in 1864. The Story of Confederation exhibition opened in 2015, and it is a replica of the Confederation Chambers from 1864, when the Fathers had first met in the Charlottetown Conference.
The Confederation Centre of the Arts contains a museum, art gallery, multiple studios, a children’s theatre, shops, a public library, a memorial hall, and a large auditorium. It presents 16,000 pieces of artwork from Canadian artists. The Charlottetown Festival has been running continuously since 1965, producing over 85 original musicals.
