Description


La Congrégation des Sœurs de Sainte-Anne a démontré sa conviction en la valeur éducative d’un musée en mettant sur pied son premier musée communautaire en 1918. Établi au Couvent Sainte-Anne, 1300, rue Saint-Joseph, à Lachine, il comprenait des documents d’histoire communautaire et/ou contemporaine et des revues d’époque. À ce moment, les œuvres et les objets étaient présentés dans les différents couloirs de l’institution. En 1942, le musée prit un tournant nouveau en devenant un musée de sciences naturelles. Durant 30 ans, il tiendra un rôle pédagogique de premier plan, il accueillera les classes de sciences naturelles jusqu’en 1972. À partir de cette date, les années à venir seront consacrées à l’inventaire des objets historiques, à la recherche et à la documentation, préparant ainsi le retour à sa vocation historique première. Le musée reprend vie et ouvre à nouveau ses portes au même Couvent Sainte-Anne en 1979, par une exposition permanente, dans une seule salle, à laquelle s’ajouteront, d’année en année, des expositions thématiques temporaires. En 1990, à l’occasion du centenaire du décès de la Fondatrice, Mère Marie-Anne Blondin, un Centre d’interprétation, dénommé Estherama, voit le jour à la Maison mère des Sœurs de Sainte-Anne au 1950, rue Provost, à Lachine. Ce Centre a pour objectif de faire connaître la vie de Mère Marie-Anne, de son enfance à sa mort, et l’expansion apostolique de sa communauté. En 1992, naît le musée Marie-Anne-Blondin, situé lui aussi au 1950, rue Provost. Il illustre le parcours de vie de la Fondatrice (depuis la fondation à Vaudreuil, jusqu’à l’aménagement de la jeune communauté au Couvent de Lachine) et son couronnement. Rome proclame Mère Marie-Anne « Vénérable » en 1991. Ce musée, riche de sens, réunit des objets ayant appartenu à la Fondatrice et des objets témoins des premières décennies de la Congrégation. En 2005, l’Administration générale des Sœurs de Sainte-Anne, après une étude menée par des spécialistes en muséologie et architecture, forme le projet de regrouper en un seul lieu, les deux musées et le Centre d’interprétation. Ce nouvel ensemble à deux volets – un service de la promotion et d’animation sur la vie et les œuvres de la Fondatrice et un musée d’histoire - prendra le nom de Centre historique des Sœurs de Sainte-Anne. Il sera établi à l’intérieur du bâtiment du Couvent Sainte-Anne de Lachine. Ce bâtiment de grande valeur patrimoniale, 1862-1864, est situé sur les bords du canal de Lachine, dans le circuit touristique du vieux Lachine.

The Congregation of the Sisters of Holy-Anne showed her conviction in the educational value of a museum by setting up its first Community museum in 1918. Established with the Convent Holy-Anne, 1300, rue Saint-Joseph, in Lachine, it included/understood documents of Community and/or contemporary history and reviews of time. At this time, works and the objects were presented in the various corridors of the institution. In 1942, the museum took a new turning while becoming a museum of natural science. During 30 years, it will hold a teaching role of foreground, it will accomodate the classes of natural science until 1972. Starting from this date, the years to come will be devoted to the inventory of the historical objects, research and documentation, thus preparing the return to its historical vocation first. The museum takes again life and again opens its doors with the same Convent Holy-Anne in 1979, by a permanent exposure, in only one room, to which will be added, year by year, of the temporary exposures sets of themes. In 1990, at the time of the centenary of the death of the Founder, Mother Marie-Anne Blondin, a Center of interpretation, called Estherama, the day at the Head office of the Sisters of Holy-Anne with 1950, rue Provost sees, in Lachine. This Center aims to make known the life of Mother Marie-Anne, her childhood to its death, and the apostolic expansion of its community. In 1992, is born also the museum Marie-Anne-Cableway, located him at 1950, rue Provost. It illustrates the course of life of the Founder (since the foundation with Vaudreuil, until the installation of the young community to the Convent of Lachine) and her crowning. Rome proclaims Mère “Worthy” Marie-Anne in 1991. This museum, rich person of direction, join together objects having belonged to the Founder and of the pilot objects of the first decades of the Congregation. In 2005, the general Administration of the Sisters of Holy-Anne, after a study undertaken by specialists in museology and architecture, forms the project to gather in only one place, the two museums and the Center of interpretation. This new whole with two shutters - a service of promotion and animation on the life and works of the Founder and a museum of history - will take the name of Historical centre of the Sisters of Holy-Anne. It will be established inside the building of the Convent Holy-Anne de Lachine. This building of great financial asset, 1862-1864, is located on the edges of the channel of Lachine, in the tourist tour of the Old Lachine.
