As the Provincial Museum System, it administers seven sites across the Island with offices located on the third floor of Beaconsfield Historic House, 2 Kent St. Charlottetown PEI. Beaconsfield is open to the public for tours year round and houses a bookstore on site.
The other six sites that fall under the PEI Museum mandate are; Basin Head Fisheries Museum, Elmira Railway Museum, Orwell Corner Historic Village, The Acadian Museum, Green Park Shipbuilding Musuem & Yeo House and Eptek Art & Culture Centre.
