Anne Murray Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Anne Murray Centre is a museum located in Springhill, Nova Scotia exploring the history of the singer, Anne Murray. The 6,894 square foot building houses exhibits and artifacts, gift shop and multi-use rooms. The centre is opened from mid-May to mid-October and has had 400,000 visitors since July 28, 1989.

The Anne Murray Centre showcases the incredible life and times of Springhill’s internationally acclaimed songstress Anne Murray. Step into the remarkable story of this Canadian icon and take an intimate look at her humble beginnings, flight to fame, and enduring contributions to the world of music.

Anne Murray grew up in the small Nova Scotia coal mining town of Springhill, far, far away from the glitter and glamour of Hollywood. Yet her breathtaking flight to fame has made Anne Murray a household name in entertainment capitals of the world, and she has amassed more musical awards and accolades than almost any female singer in history.

The original initiative for the Anne Murray Centre came from volunteer members of the Springhill Industrial Commission. They envisaged such a Centre as a catalyst to stimulate the economy of the community, and promote awareness of the music of Nova Scotia and Canada through the public presentation of Anne Murray’s life and career achievements.

The Anne Murray Centre has fulfilled Anne's wish to contribute in a unique manner to her hometown, which has suffered through two mine disasters and two devastating fires since 1956.
