RealDecoy has been selected by the Canadian Museum of Nature to help redevelop their website to coincide with the opening of the Victoria Memorial Museum Building.
A renovated website, for a renovated building
The “Nature Museum” makes its public home in the iconic Victoria Memorial Museum Building in downtown Ottawa. For years now, the building has been under renovations, giving the Canadian Museum of Nature a new home, without sacrificing its past. The museum has been opening new exhibits as the renovations have progressed but the real grand opening is scheduled for next spring. The Canadian Museum of Nature wants to launch a new and improved website to coincide
Why the Canadian Museum of Nature selected RealDecoy
After a call for proposals, the Canadian Nature Museum selected RealDecoy from the submissions because of our expertise and experience in developing successful Web sites. Recent projects for other cultural institutions and our considerable experience in implementing Content Management Systems were key considerations.
Extensive museum experience
RealDecoy has extensive experience working with Museums and heritage institutions and a strong understanding the issues that affect museums. We were responsible for redeveloping the websites for the National Gallery of Canada, the Virtual Museum of Canada, the Royal Tyrrell Museum and the Canadian Museum of Human Rights. We have provided consultation and planning for the Canada Science and Technology Museum, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Canadian War Museum and the Canada Aviation Museum. We are in the midst of developing websites for the Canadian Heritage Information Network, Royal Canadian Geographic Society and the Canada Agriculture Museum.

RealDecoy is in the midst of redesigning the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) and Virtual Museum of Canada websites. Additionally, we are working on producing a brand new site for heritage professionals, the Professional Exchange. A dramatic and extensive undertaking for CHIN, the complete redevelopment of all three sites will be live by the end of 2009.
