Who are we?
MUSEUMS CANADA / MUSEES CANADA was created by a group of visionaries who came together to support the professional workers, emerging or experienced of museums, galleries, science centres and related cultural institutions across Canada.
MUSEUMS CANADA grew to fill a need by like-minded organizations to create a new vision. With the guidance of Capacity Canada individuals representing museums, zoos, artists as well as the Indigenous community helped forge a new path forward.
Accessible, affordable, year-round networking, development-oriented and mentorship-driven, became the catalyst for MUSEUMS CANADA. Bringing together emerging and seasoned colleagues and our partners from across Canada for a creative, meaningful, and fun experience became the core mandate. All without Membership fees!
We are listening and want to hear from you and help build a collaborative and visionary future for our colleagues' coast to coast to coast!
