This museum aims not only to be a place to display objects but a rescue mechanism for intangible heritage of the Nubians living in the area. It aims to reconnect them through the valorisation of heritage, with the past from which they were cut by the construction of the High Dam of Aswan. This museum is thought to be the counter-part of the Nubia Museum of Aswan (Egypt) opened in 1997. UNESCO is involved in both museums as an actor of the Nubian heritage conservation since the 1950’s. The concept proposal prepared for this museum and discussed in the article should make the Wadi Halfa museum a dynamic institution and an integral part of the Wadi Halfa community linking its past and present for a better future. Le but de cet article est de présenter de la raison d’être du futur Musée de Wadi Halfa. Ce musée vise à être un lieu d’exposition d’objets, mais aussi un mécanisme de sauvetage du patrimoine immatériel nubien. À travers la mise en valeur de ce patrimoine, il s’agit de reconnecter les Nubiens vivant dans la région avec leur passé dont ils ont été coupés par la construction du Haut barrage d’Assouan. Ce musée est considéré comme la contrepartie du musée de la Nubie à Assouan (Égypte) inauguré en 1997. L’Unesco est associée à ces deux musées en tant qu’acteur de la conservation du patrimoine nubien depuis les années 1950. Le concept muséographique discuté dans cet article, devrait faire du Musée de Wadi Halfa une institution dynamique, partie intégrante de la vie de la communauté nubienne en reliant son passé et son présent pour un avenir meilleur.
