She said that museums are not set in stone and that this museum in particular has changed its content, image and mission several times.20 Yves Bergeron, a professor of museology, said it would take five to seven years to see whether the museum’s focus had changed, because exhibits take a long time to prepare.21 John McAvity, executive director and chief executive officer of the Canadian Museums Association, said the change of name would end the confusion with the Musée de la civilisation in the city of Québec.22 In his testim
ony to the Standing Committee on Canadi ...[+++]an Heritage, Mr. McAvity did not agree with those who contend that the bill places limits on the new museum, saying that the capacity and powers provided for in the bill are adequate and include a provision for an international role.23
Si on regarde l’histoire de ce musée en particulier, il a changé de contenu, il a changé d’image, il a changé de mission plusieurs fois20». Selon Yvan Bergeron, professeur de muséologie, il faudra attendre de cinq à sept ans pour constater un changement d’orientation du Musée, car il faut du temps pour préparer des expositions21.
