Pewter Museum

Take a step back in time and learn how pewter has been used for centuries around the world, from cod fishing jigs to vases on the Titanic.

Located in a renovated 19th century boat building shop, our Mahone Bay storefront and workshop contains a collection of antique and historic pewter collectibles and pieces of interest. A walk through our museum will teach you about the origins of pewter and how it has been used locally and globally over the past few centuries.

Historically used to make household dishes, utensils, bowls and tankards, pewter is now mainly used for decorative purposes. The artisans at Amos Pewter continue to use traditional methods of pewter crafting to create modern and innovative designs today. Explore our museum to see how pewter has evolved over the ages to where it is today!

Quite a pleasant surprise. Not merely a store, but a shop making the pewter items, demonstrating that process, and explaining it to interested customers. Very large collection of pewter items designed, manufactured, and sold in house. Pleasant staff.

Ruthie y Davud (Spain) Thank you to each at Mahone Bay . We have just bought THE most elegant, beautifully crafted with care, love and expertise, the Nativity Scene . You are all so skilled and this has really been the hi-light of Mahone Bay. Thank you is an understatement. I can feel the love you put onto each crafted piece. Will always remember you...and the hug! Ruthie y David:-) España.

Great store, great service. Considering that we travel with our dogs it's a big plus they're allowed in. Our dogs finished the water bowl outside, as they were offered a treat inside I mentioned ours just finished the water and it was refilled before we walked out (consider me impressed). Great assortment, beautiful pieces, also beautifully and carefully wrapped and packed upon checkout. We got a necklace and a picture frame which I'm sure we'll treasure for many many years.

Each of us bought our favorite goods here. The design is very ingenious. Originally, I wanted to buy a small cat-shaped photo clip. But I found that dogs, monkeys, frogs and lizards of the same sequence had facial features, but cats did not. Finally, I bought a lobster claw-shaped keychain.

I visited the Amos Pewter store on Mahon Bay And saw the demonstration on how they made things. It was very interesting. It’s a lovely shop with a beautiful location and I wish I would’ve bought more things to bring home!!

A neat spot - lots of Nova Scotia- inspired items. They do a great demo of making pewter as well.

A small gift shop with sculptures, ceramics, jewelry and other displays made by the locals both around and here in Halifax. It was a bit crowded, when we visited but we still got to see the products here. They're all displayed in a spacious, clean well-kept area with staff present and greeted us. There were a few earrings and dishware that caught my eye, too. It was a good 10-15 minutes of browsing Amos Pewter.
