On November 26, 1990 the Governments of Canada and of the French Republic signed the Canada-France Agreement on Museum Cooperation and Exchanges. The main objective of the Agreement is to create and develop special, lasting ties between museums and museum professionals in Canada and France. It also assists Canadian organizations in developing new international partnerships and in reaching new potential audiences for Canadian heritage and collections.

By funding joint projects under this agreement, the Government of Canada encourages museums and museum professionals from all provinces and territories to forge and develop links with France.
