Virtual Museum of New France

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Virtual Museum of New France (French: Le Musée virtuel de la Nouvelle-France) was established by the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation on January 22, 1997. As an entirely virtual museum, it has no physical exhibits and only exists on the World Wide Web at www.civilization.ca/vmnf. The mission of the museum is to promote awareness of all facets of life in New France, as it existed from the 16th century until the Treaty of Paris (1763). When it opened, it claimed to be "the only museum without walls in the world."^[1]
