- • Economuseums form a thriving
network of craft workshops and local product museums
in Quebec and Atlantic Canada that share the same
guidelines.
- • At each economuseum, artisans
reveal the history of their craft and demonstrate
traditional skills to the public.
- • Economuseums range from violin
making, bookbinding, brewing, leather tanning, pewter
manufacturing to harvesting wild berries. Each also
sells the goods made on site.
- • They offer authenticity, learning,
heritage and support for the local economy.
- • There is a great potential for
developing more of these throughout Canada!
