Musée Régional De L'outaouais

L’Outaouais est une des régions du Québec les plus diversifiées, tant dans sa composition culturelle que son territoire. Elle est pourtant peu connue des Québécois, y compris des citoyens qui y habitent. Dans ce contexte, la création d'un musée suscitant un sentiment d'appartenance et de fierté devient essentielle pour tous les acteurs du milieu. En 2015, le Réseau du patrimoine de Gatineau et de l’Outaouais (RPGO) lance le projet d’une nouvelle infrastructure muséale régionale en Outaouais. En 2022, le Musée régional de l’Outaouais (MRO) voit le jour. N’ayant pour l’instant pas de lieu permanent, il occupe la maison Fairview pendant la saison estivale afin d’offrir une programmation pour la population. Situé dans le centre-ville de Gatineau, le Musée permanent se voudra un lieu de cohésion pour une région aux identités multiples en faisant apprécier la complexité des interactions sociales et culturelles au fil des siècles. Il cherchera à être une maison commune intégrée au territoire et à favoriser son développement culturel, social et économique. Il se voudra conversationnel, où les paroles se démultiplient et s'enrichissent mutuellement.
