Médiat-Muse, the network

Médiat-Muse is the organization that brings together museums, exhibition centres, interpretation centres and art galleries from the Mauricie and Centre-du-Québec region. Its creation dates back to 1987, when professionals working in the field began wanting to share their strengths and their resources to break the isolation.

Médiat-Muse’s mission is to promote the region’s rich heritage and arts culture, as well as to develop and defend its members’ interests. Our objectives are as follows:

• Increase visibility for members
• Strengthen their feeling of belonging to a network
• Acquire helpful resources
• Promote regional activities
• Create promotional tools and common services

The Médiat-Muse network was recently chosen by the ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine du Québec to become one of the first Cellules régionales d’expertise en muséologie (CREM). As such, it launched in 2009-2010 its triennial development plan which will allow it to implement concrete solutions to problems encountered by most of its members. They will benefit from new resources that will help boost their development and their notoriety.
