Bringing together 600 documentary collections, a large collection of newspapers and more than a million photographs, the Mhist – Sherbooke History Museum highlights the historical heritage of the Sherbrooke region through various exhibitions and activities.
Sherbrooke Memories
Permanent exhibition
Discover or rediscover the history of Sherbrooke through the people who built, dreamed, built and chose this city. The exhibition presents, in particular several hundred photographs, testimonials on the life and construction of neighborhoods, examples of businesses and industries that have flourished in Sherbrooke and much more. You can also play switchboard operator while listening to conversations on a real telephone switchboard or watch the Abenaki legend of the Lonely Pine come to life before your eyes thanks to voice recognition.
Christmas stories
From November 14, 2024 to January 12, 2025 – presented by Desjardins
The exhibition invites you to discover the stories, tales and traditions that shape the holiday season and create this excitement for young and old. For the youngest, an arctic fox takes up part of the audio content to offer them an adapted and fun visit. Ideal for a family outing.
50 years of commitment to gender equality
February 5th to April 28th, 2025
Conceived by the Conseil du statut de la femme as part of its 50th anniversary, the exhibition reminds us of the progress made in gender equality, whether at the familial and social level, in work, politics, education, and health. As Sherbrooke is no exception in this quest for equality, the Mhist complements the exhibition with a focus on some significant women from local history."
Guided tours, tales and conferences
