Elves on the run
November 30 to January 5
A gang of prankster elves have escaped from Santa's workshop and invaded the museum! Since their arrival, they've been up to no good!
Your mission: to help us find them and capture as many as possible to save Christmas. To do this, you'll need to make your own elf trap to take home. Who knows, maybe you'll catch a stray elf in your living room?
Last chance to explore the exhibition until January 5
Archaeology: a scientific adventure
We always imagine the archaeologist excavating with their trowel and brush in search of treasure buried beneath layers of soil. But once the treasure is discovered, the work really begins, fortunately, archaeologists can count on a plethora of tools to help them : archaeosciences.
This exhibition reveals the unsuspected toolbox of today's archaeologists. How do physics, chemistry, biology, geology, as well as new technologies help archaeologists to study and decode the artifact's stories? What if you, young and old, were to take part in this scientific adventure?
A captivating, immersive, enriching and fun experience reintroducing the science lab you thought you knew!
The exhibition is made possible with the financial support of Canadian Heritage. The archaeosciences activities are presented by Desjardins.
