DMC is an investment program that supports Canadian museums and heritage organizations

We support Canadian museums and heritage organizations in developing online projects – like virtual exhibits, virtual tours, educational resources, web-based games, web apps, and more. The program has a dual mission: to help organizations build digital capacity, and to give Canadians unique access to diverse stories and experiences.
