HISTORICAL RECONSTRUCTION ANS INTERPRETATION OF THE RESIDENTIAL PART OF MAISON LOUIS-CYR.

This museum was dedicated to a famous French Canadian strongman with a career spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Museum wished to evoke the Eastlake style of decoration that could have been Louis Cyr’s home decor style, around 1900. From some general parameters, within a small envelope and an extremely tight schedule, Merlicht has effectively responded to this request. Our mandate also included the design of the Museum Shop. Overall, the evocation of the Eastlake style is a success!

PRIZED MUSEUM!

Merlicht’s design was one contributing factor in Maison Louis-Cyr receiving several honors: the “Coup de coeur 2015-2016 pour la Matawinie” prize, awarded by Hexagone Lanaudière; two prizes awarded at the 2014 edition of Gala des grands prix Desjardins de la culture de Lanaudière: “Patrimoine” and “Coup de cœur Desjardins”; the “Mérite en interprétation – volet communautaire” prize, awarded by the Association québécoise des interprètes du patrimoine (AQIP).
