About our Corporation

The Canada Science and Technology Museum Corporation, originally the National Museum of Science and Technology, was established as an autonomous Crown Corporation on July 1, 1990.

The Corporation’s mandate is to foster scientific and technological literacy throughout Canada by establishing, maintaining and developing a collection of scientific and technological objects, and by demonstrating the products and the processes of science and technology and their economic, social and cultural relationships with society.

As a national institution and member of the Government of Canada’s culture and heritage portfolio, the Corporation is responsible for preserving and protecting Canada’s scientific and technological heritage and promoting and sharing knowledge about that heritage. The Corporation and its Museums tell the story about Canadian ingenuity and achievement in science and technology, and demonstrate how these accomplishments have contributed to the building of our country and its future.

Today, the Corporation operates three museums; the Canada Agriculture Museum, the Canada Aviation Museum and the Canada Science and Technology Museum. A Board of Trustees, whose members come from all regions of the country and are appointed by the Governor-in-Council, oversees the management of the business, activities and affairs of the Corporation, while the Corporation’s daily operations are managed by the President and Chief Executive Officer.
