Le RMCB a fait la promotion des musées acadiens de l'Île du Cap-Breton à l'occasion du Congrès mondial acadien 2004. Ce site présente des pages en français sur des musées acadiens à Arichat, à Chéticamp et à St-Pierre (St. Peter's), ainsi que sur des personnages qui ont marqué l'histoire cap-bretonaise, comme Nicolas Denys. 
Le RMCB vous prépare un répertoire complet des musées et des lieux de mémoire acadiens à travers le monde. Pour l'instant, voici :
