_welcome

Welcome,

Launched in 1993, The Museum in the Streets ®™ is a company that creates heritage discovery trails for the benefit of a community's inhabitants and visitors. Its design and concept are registered and protected.

We work with towns to create free of charge walking tours that foster a sense of historical identity, educate, encourage preservation of local historic sites and promote the knowledge of the stories, events and traditions behind the creation of a community.

The series of panels that makes up the tour invites people to discover a town's unique story at their own pace, over the course of an afternoon or several return visits.

The Museum in the Streets encourages all publics to consider that museums exist beyond the walls of the traditional institutions that collect and preserve the heritage of a nation and humanity. We are all responsible for the protection of this historical, social, artistic and environmental legacy. This collective memory surrounds us; it is entrusted to us and our mission is to preserve it and educate younger generations to do likewise.

We hope you will enjoy visiting this website. Check out photographs of our installations in the image gallery, read what the press are saying about us, connect to the towns we have worked with and download maps to plan your visit.
