The Sherbrooke Museum of Nature and Science inspires, amazes and makes the discovery of nature, science and the richness of its natural heritage collections accessible to all. Majestically overlooking downtown Sherbrooke, the Museum, a non-profit organization, is teeming with activities of all kinds: exhibitions, multisensory shows, educational activities, conferences and one-off events.
Our current exhibitions:
PERMANENT EXHIBITIONS
AlterAnima - Unexpected Encounters
Plunge into a world of fantasy where what you see is mixed with what animals see, in a way that is as unexpected as it is scientific. The AlterAnima exhibit presents the most beautiful taxidermic specimens from the collections of the Museum in an artistic and original setting. Hundreds of animals await your visit, including a polar bear and a cougar. You must be on the lookout and open your eyes; several animals are hidden in unexpected places! A cascade of visual and acoustic surprises awaits you in this fantastic forest.
Terra Mutantès - Travel back in time through the evolution of the landscapes of Sherbrooke and its region [https://mns2.ca/en/exhibitions/terra-mutantes/]
Thanks to the infinite potential of multimedia, you will be propelled through the tumult of the continental drifts, cross merging lava fields, be present at the creation of lakes and rivers that dot the landscape of the Sherbrooke region, feel the continents breaking apart and the melting of the glaciers, all without leaving the Museum. You will never look at the landscapes of our region in the same way again! An eye-opening-multi-sensory show!
