A team of researchers from the departments of history, electrical engineering and computer science, literature and geography as well as the Quebec City Museum of Civilization, received a large donation for research infrastructure of the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, and the contributions of the Government of Quebec and Laval University to establish the Laboratory of Museology and Cultural Engineering.

LAMIC is the first laboratory of experimental museology in the world. The importance of this is studying ways to move the culture in a museum environment. Robert Lepage, creator of the project and founder of the multidisciplinary ex machina, is innovative and multi-disciplinary, thus allowing experimentation in the approach of historical characters, places, objects and narratives. It was important to adapt to creative images that objects, scenes and space-related. Were 400 years of history of Quebec, displayed on the grain silos in the Port of Quebec.This provided, among other things, validate the process of creating non-narrative, or narrative, non-linear. This led us from project to project.

The new project took form in the chapelle des Ursulines, being a historically important place. The chapel was the first educational institution for women in the Americas, founded in 1599. The space still exists and is an existing chapel in Old Quebec. It's the same, but is not necessarily accessible to most people. Make a model of the space to be replicated elsewhere? It is important to digitally reproduce the local as well as capturing its essence. 

It is interesting to reflect on the relationship between objects, visitors and the local.
