Museum Day was first celebrated 40 years ago. Its objective is clear: to spread the message that museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures, and they encourage common knowledge, cooperation, and peace among peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International Museum Day brings together a growing number of museums around the world. Last year, more than 37,000 museums participated in the event in nearly 156 countries. The theme for International Museum Day 2021 is \u201cThe Future of Museums \u2013 Recover and Reimagine\u201d, which invites museums, professionals, and their communities to create, imagine and share new practices of (co-)creation of value, new business models for cultural institutions and innovative solutions for the social, economic, and environmental challenges of the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, I invite you, on International Museum Day 2021, to visit a museum near you, either virtually or in person, health conditions permitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andr\u00e9 Miller<br>UNE Regional Vice-President, NCR-Separate Employers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 18, 2021 Museums in Quebec and museums throughout Canada, in all regions of the country, are places of conservation, production and dissemination of knowledge, as well as research.
