Seeing Big - A New Museum for the Outaouais

The new Musée régionale de l’Outaouais will be defined by the rich history, heritage and cultural vitality of the region’s broad territory. Creating a new regional museum is a rare opportunity, made even more exciting by housing that museum in a rehabilitated industrial heritage building on the former E.B. Eddy site, in the heart of Gatineau’s core.

This bilingual presentation will provide an overview of the overall project to create a regional museum, and the conservation challenges the project team is facing in adapting the existing building to its proposed new functions.
