From science and art to minerals and archaeological objects, the Musée draws from its collections to design, produce and disseminate original exhibits. Every year, the Musée hosts two to three exhibitions of professional artists from the region and beyond. These regional exhibitions are joined by varied programming from national museums and our cultural partners in Quebec.
