The \u00c9comus\u00e9e du fier monde is both a history museum and a citizens\u2019 museum. It was founded in the early 1980s, in Montreal\u2019s Centre-Sud district. Part of the new museology movement, the establishment of the organization was also closely tied to an emerging community movement. In 1996, the \u00c9comus\u00e9e du fier monde obtained museum accreditation from the Minist\u00e8re de la Culture et des Communications du Qu\u00e9bec. It was thus recognized officially as museum. It took up residence in the former G\u00e9n\u00e9reux Bathhouse, on Atateken Street, under an emphyteutic lease with the City of Montreal.<\/p>\n

The \u00c9comus\u00e9e\u2019s mission is to highlight the themes of work and civic engagement in Montreal, in their historic and contemporary context. It also aims to develop a sustainable citizen museology, using activities and practices as tools for popular education. In partnership with the community, it contributes to the development of the ecomuseum\u2019s territory by highlighting its heritage and culture. It also promotes the sharing of expertise and exchanges at local, national and international levels.<\/p>\n

Since its founding, the organization has deepened its exploration of the relationship between a museum and its audience. A number of projects and experiments have allowed it to develop new practices in that spirit. For example, whether through the realization of its exhibition projects or through activities related to collection development, the greater public can be involved in some of its activities. The \u00c9comus\u00e9e has also developed expertise in offering services to groups working with people living with functional limitations.<\/p>\n

Creation of the Fonds \u00c9comus\u00e9e de la maison du fier monde<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In 2007, despite its immediate needs, the \u00c9comus\u00e9e du fier monde decided to create a fund at FGM. It deposited in it the money raised through its fundraising campaign. The Fonds \u00c9comus\u00e9e de la maison du fier monde was thus created. Later on, the then-new M\u00e9c\u00e9nat Placements Culture program subsequently\u00a0 would add significant contributions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur means were limited and our needs were great, but we nonetheless made the decision to transform these donations into a 10-year investment. The \u00c9comus\u00e9e then made regular contributions to its fund. Since then, our investments have generated interest every year, adding to the income available for our operations and allowing us to continue our work with various groups. Today, we can see in retrospect just how wise that decision was.\u201d
