Visitors are immersed in an environment that evokes by turns the ice age thousands of years ago, the surging waves of the river and the lighthouses that stand guard along its shores. The decor makes visitors feel as if they’re riding along on the river. Stunning photographs help showcase the dazzling biodiversity of the St. Lawrence. Visitors will also appreciate the opportunity to closely examine some impressive natural objects, or ecofacts: the vertebra of a minke whale, a puffin beak and a porpoise skull, as well as fossils dating back 465 million years. The exhibition also has a fun side that makes it more accessible to children. They are given a free activity booklet and encouraged to explore the exhibition together with two colourful characters—a great blue heron and a puffin.
