The REM, formally the Civic Museum of Regina, aims to share stories, history and connections beyond the walls of a traditional museum.
“We are working on trying to find creative ways to bring the museum to people instead of people having to go to a static location,” Kelsey Longmoore, executive director of REM, explained.
As a result, the REM developed story stops—glass displays in the Lakeview and Heritage neighbourhoods.
“We really want to work on telling the story of the neighbourhood as well as community members and community groups,” Longmoore said.
Each story stop has a written history as well as several artifacts from the museum’s collection.
The bench beside the display case is meant to serve as a resting spot for people to take in the information and the community around them.
