WORLD LEADERSHIP
MUSEUM and MONTREAL SCHOOL OF LEADERSHIP
Politics, Art, Education, History, Heritage
A project to create a new institution committed to the exploration and study of leadership.
An international museum and school of leadership whose aim is to develop a deeper understanding political leadership’s critical role in contemporary society. A unique and interactive museum on Canadian and World Leaders designed to support understanding, meet the challenges of a globalized world, enhance Canada’s international image, and promote the city of Montreal.
The concept for a World Leadership Museum is an outgrowth of the publishing activities of New Federation House on the subject of leadership. The design of the Museum has evolved through extensive consultations to include world-class exhibits on Canadian and International leaders as well as a national centre for research and teaching on the topic of leadership.
Among those who have actively participated in discussions on the Museum include the senior advisors of The Gummersell Group Inc and representatives of the McCord Museum; the Discovery Museum (Stanford, Connecticut); Services des infrastructures de la Ville de Montréal; le Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine, Québec; Canada Lands Corporation, Canadian Heritage; and the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum (Boston, Massachusetts). These individuals, and many others, have contributed to the development of a unique institution whose major features include:
- an innovative cultural institution designed to promote public awareness of leadership in society, to promote leadership training, and to collect and preserve materials that relate to leadership both nationally and internationally;
- extensive and highly interactive exhibitions on the history of leadership in Canada and the world, with activities that offer an original perspective on what makes a truly great leader while, in the process, encapsulating a great deal of world history;
- The affiliated Montreal School of Leadership will offer public and specialized educational programs that explore the general concept of leadership, its history and practice through, films, seminars, conferences, courses and guest lectures; it will offer an Executive MA in Global Leadership Studies in partnership with a Canadian University;
- the Museum will be located in Old Montreal or in the downtown area; negotiations are underway to situate the museum in a historic Montreal building;
- a Preliminary Marketing Plan has been drafted and excerpts are included here (a more extensive document is available on request);
- a Preliminary Budget has been drawn up; following its initial funding, the Museum is expected to be self-financing.
