The Chinese Garden invites you to an encounter, an encounter with three Chinese farming families who each live, work, and experience the land in their own way. In a small Dai village in Yunnan, the Zhou grow bananas. Atop a mountain in the same province, in a breathtaking landscape, the Chen cultivate tea. In the heart of Anhui, the Li cultivate rice. These three families live to the rhythm of the Chinese land, which nourishes them, connects them, and demands treasures of ingenuity and resilience. This land is dear to the farmers. It is part of their identity. By revealing their stories through photos and unique experiences, this exhibition, a journey-like experience, may lead you to rethink your own connection to the land.

Featuring exceptional loans from major museums in Europe and North America, the exhibition brings together paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, jewellery pieces, and archival documents that testify to the quality of Weill’s gallery and deepen our understanding of its historical context.

Discover Transformer: Design and Energy Futures A captivating exhibition from the Vitra Design Museum that explores the crucial role of design in the energy transition. Energy is at the heart of our societies, but the use of fossil fuels (oil, coal, and gas) is the main cause of climate change and global warming. For a sustainable future, we must adopt CO2-free energy sources, such as solar, wind, and water. This transition presents challenges, but design offers innovative solutions. Transformer shows how design can rethink our energy consumption and integrate renewable energies into our daily lives. The exhibition presents inspiring projects at different scales: from the human body to cities, homes, and modes of transportation. Come and discover how design can shape a sustainable energy future and inspire positive changes in the way we live.

Streaming Light, the suspended installation that gives the exhibition its name, was specially conceived with the Museum’s gallery space in mind. It is Blais’s most ambitious work to date and the culmination of her recent explorations in painting. Comprised of multiple panels of painted burlap, it evokes the movement of an imposing wave swelling up to meet the bodies of visitors.

Come experience an immersive, personalized, and interactive watershed discovery! On this journey through a watershed, your senses of hearing, touch, sight, and smell will be captivated by this exploration of nature and its variety of aquatic ecosystems. Traveling through headwaters, lakes, wetlands, and rivers, you'll encounter a rich biodiversity of surprising organisms from the aquatic world and learn about what happens underwater. As a bonus, you'll learn some actions you can take to improve your relationship with these fascinating ecosystems. Intended for families and students ages 8 and up, this activity was originally designed by the UQAM BiCÉAB Chair, which conducts research in aquatic sciences, and developed and produced by the firm TKNL.

Exploring the ancestral sites of her nation as well as the environments of her daily life, Meryl McMaster explores a history inscribed in the landscape. Through a series of photographic self-portraits taken in various locations across North America, she explores her ties to her Plains Cree/Métis ancestors on her father's side, and her British/Dutch ancestors on her mother's. Through her wanderings, the artist seeks to hear the memory of ancient sites. From visiting these places and telling ancient stories, a sense of connection emerges. Her journeys sometimes take place in unknown territories or places that have forgotten the past. Her thoughts then turn to the great migrations her ancestors made, both by land and water, to trace her history. In her images, where her imagination is given free rein, erratic boulders become the ancient guardians of the natural world; birds, companions she cradles and guides her to the answers she seeks in the sky; Insects, witnesses to the power of life and the importance of maintaining ecological balance. The memory Meryl McMaster carries on her back intertwines generations and lineages, geological eras and ancestral territories. It is embodied in a series of outdoor images, where the beauty of the landscapes coexists with the memories of an often devastating colonial history. As Strong as the Wind showcases the work of an artist who faces the flow of time and reconnects with those who came before her.

Specific diets, medical monitoring, pond maintenance, species selection, plant care, ecosystem monitoring, and stimulating activities are essential to providing animals and plants with optimal living conditions.

Featuring exceptional and rarely seen works from the Museum's collection of early modern prints and drawings, this exhibition showcases northern European depictions of "sinful" women to tell the story of how women became associated with sin, the role art played, and how that history shows up in our lives today.

To honor the legacy of Hubert Reeves, the Planetarium offers you an exhibition highlighting his words and writings.

Have you ever had to leave your home due to a climate event? For several years, recurring disasters have forced hundreds of millions of people to abandon their loved ones and homes in search of refuge. In the face of climate change, we are all vulnerable, but not to the same degree. Our level of vulnerability varies depending on where we live, our economic situation, and our gender, among other factors. By exploring this exhibition designed by the Biosphère and Oxfam-Québec, learn about climate migration and explore some potential solutions.

What is science? How is it practiced? The brand-new Ecolab highlights the importance of the scientific approach while introducing you to the various phenomena linked to water and air pollution.

Located on the lower level of the Biodôme, A Tightly Woven Nature will introduce you to the role keystone species play in the fragile balance of their ecosystem. Featuring nearly 1,000 naturalized specimens, explore fascinating themes such as odorous, visual, and audible signals, birds of prey, and defense mechanisms. Will you be able to spot the crested hornbill, the wandering albatross, the pencil sea urchin, or the Brazza's monkey? Will you hear the sound of the piranha? Look for the different symbols and follow the lines drawn on the floor to understand the connections between the different sections. Tactile and sensory experiences are available to enhance your visit.

Taking science from the other end, through images and not words. This is the original idea launched in 2010 by Acfas through its Proof by Image competition. Dedicated to images from scientific research in all fields of knowledge, this competition was expanded across Canada in 2016, thanks to the collaboration of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Science Exposed is the English-language component of the competition. Espace pour la vie celebrates life and nature and has chosen to exhibit the 20 images from the 2024 edition. Images that reveal a world of unsuspected complexity and great beauty. The 20 images are exhibited in front of the Biodôme. Take the time to admire these true works of scientific art revealed to us by the eyes of researchers, and choose your “favorite” image by participating in the vote for the Prix du public Découverte, sponsored by Radio-Canada, before September 21!
