    The annual Museums + Heritage Awards, now in their eighteenth year, recognise projects of excellence - innovative and ground-breaking exhibitions from galleries and visitor attractions across the globe. These range from remarkable achievements of national institutions to projects crafted with limited resources and those championing their staff and volunteers who work hard to deliver inspiring visitor experiences.

    The 2020 Awards have two dedicated International Project of the Year Awards categories (Projects more than £1m and Projects less than £1m) which truly shine a spotlight on some of the fantastic projects that took place outside the UK in 2019.

    Could your project be added to our shortlist and could you join our Hall of Fame?

    The Awards are open to all museums, galleries, cultural and heritage visitor attractions and their suppliers, no matter what size or budget, offer an unrivalled opportunity for everyone in this sector to celebrate their successes.

    More information and helpful resources can be found on the website here - https://awards.museumsandheritage.com/

    The contemporary urban fabric of Montreal, perhaps more than any other Canadian city, was shaped by a single event in its modern history: the 1967 International and Universal Exposition, popularly known as Expo 67. With its record-breaking number of visitors, it was the most successful world’s fair of the 20th century and fueled a construction boom in the city that stretched into the late 1970s.

    Canadian-American architecture firm Lemay’s reimagining of Parc Jean-Drapeau, the legendary site of Montreal’s Expo 67, brings one of the city’s premier parks into the 21st century and reframes Alexander Calder’s monumental Trois Disques sculpture. “It’s difficult to overstate the importance of this project to our city; it really is a rearticulation of one of our major public spaces. It’s like going in to [New York’s] Central Park and redefining, like, a quarter of the park,” says Andrew King, partner and design principal at Lemay.
