World Cultures
There are approximately 1000 cultural objects (household and ceremonial items, ornaments, musical instruments) displayed in the Museum’s newly installed World Cultures (Ethnology) Gallery, including archaeological material from ancient Egypt, the Mediterranean, and Mesoamerica, and 19th and 20th century artefacts from Asia, Oceania, South America, and Africa.
Permanent exhibition
Geological History and Quebec's Biodiversity
Biodiversity comprises all forms of life on Earth: mammals, reptiles,plants, insects, fungi, bacteria, algae — and humans as well. Species must constantly interact with one another simply to continue to exist. Our successful survival depends entirely on biological diversity and the resources that our planet provides. This exhibit about Quebec's Biodiversity increases awareness of and re-asserts respect for the province's natural environment.
Permanent exhibition
Minerals of Québec
Quebec has produced a greater variety of minerals than any other region in Canada, including minerals from several world-famous localities.
Temporary exhibition
from Oct 19, 2023 to Jun 20, 2024
