Case Study 3

Economuseums attract 850,000 visitors a year!

• 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!
