Darby/Canadian Museum of History The Musée POP, located in Trois-Rivières, bears witness to Quebec’s folk culture and it’s the perfect choice to help introduce the kids to the world of museums. With a vast array of exhibitions, some interactive, and variety-packed activity programming for families, the Musée POP captivates and fascinates visitors of all ages. The museum is open every day during the summer season. Here are three exhibits you won’t want to miss if you’re in the area! Kids Celebrate! Kids Celebrate! is a fabulous exhibit catering to young people aged 5 to 12 that transports them to the heart of 12 celebrations enjoyed by different Canadian cultural communities across the seasons. From Christmas and Hanukkah to gatherings that feature Latin music, the exhibit, on display until September 8, 2024, will give you a chance to discover the dances, meals, clothes and traditions of each of these iconic celebrations that bring Canadian cultural diversity to life. The exhibit is produced by the Canadian Museum of History. Mister Séguin’s curiosities Mister Séguin – Robert-Lionel Séguin, to use his full name – was an avid and determined ethnologist who crisscrossed Quebec throughout his life to create his collection of objects, bonafide treasures and testaments to Quebecois culture and uses. And this collection has been entrusted to the Musée POP, for your utmost enjoyment! Discover the exhibit Mister Séguin’s curiosities until March 30, 2025 and test your knowledge by trying to identify the use of each item, from everyday objects to complete curiosities. Photo credit: Samuel Cyr Du cœur au ventre depuis 100 ans The exhibit Du cœur au ventre depuis 100 ans (offered in French only) pays an emotional homage to the labour and dedication of people, often entire families, whose agricultural work ensures Quebec is fed and has energized the province’s outlying regions for the past century. A playful and interactive path through the museum will introduce you to unpublished photos that highlight the agricultural and forestry worlds of Quebec, a collection of artifacts as well as a short film titled Habiter la terre (To Be One with the Land) directed by visual artist Lawrence Dupuis. The exhibit is produced by the Union des producteurs agricoles (agricultural producers’ union) and will be shown until September 22, 2024 to highlight the Union’s 100th anniversary.
