The installation of new interactive modules was completed on January 26^th, 2025, so it will be a great opportunity to revisit the Côte-Nord – Stretches of Time exhibition. Visitors will be able to rediscover the floor map thanks to the Discovery Detector and learn more about the region’s natural resources by interacting with the module in the second room. It’s well worth the visit!

Produced by the Musée’s team, this collaborative board game will take visitors of all ages through the Côte-Nord – Stretches of Time exhibition. The wheel offers 8 themes, such as “Animals” and “Transportation”. Gameplay is simple: turn the wheel, draw a card about the theme you get, and search the exhibition to find the answer to the question. The goal of the game is to discover the fascinating history of the Côte-Nord, tackle the challenges on the cards, and win one of the collectible Storeroom Treasures. To get one of those treasures, you need to solve 12 cards, which takes about 45 minutes of playtime.

For almost a year and a half now, as part of the Digital Access to Heritage project, the Musée’s team has been working to digitize the artifacts in its collection. An enormous amount of work has been done. More than 500 artifacts are now viewable online through various Web platforms, and of them, 8 were chosen for 3D printing exclusively for the Wheel of Discovery game. These artifacts are accompanied with a fact sheet and represent a sample of the collection curated by the Musée de la Côte-Nord. They are awarded to visitors taking part in the Wheel of Discovery game, who can collect them like a curator would.
