Art
in Annapolis Royal
A small town with a lively artistic life. Galleries and studios are tucked among the old houses and shopfronts, while sculpture and murals turn an ordinary walk into something worth looking at a little more closely.
Begin with the Annapolis Royal Art Map, then follow your eye. A few stops along Saint George Street can easily become an afternoon.
