TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
René et Lévesque
This exhibition, conceived by the Musée de la civilisation in collaboration with the Fondation René-Lévesque, offers an unprecedented insight into the life of one of the most influential figures in contemporary Quebec history. Through rare objects, archival documents and personal accounts, the exhibition paints a sensitive, human and deeply inspiring portrait of René Lévesque... and of the man behind the myth.

Where Worlds Meet
The Gaspé Peninsula is often referred to as “the end of the land”. But the Gaspé Peninsula has long been connected to the outside world. The sea is what links all these separate parts, all these small and large “land’s ends”. Where Worlds Meet, let the Gaspesie carry you away.
Permanent exhibition - June to October
The Deep Blue Sea
The deep blue sea is the history of the Gaspé told through fifteen sailing vessels, from the drakkars of the Vikings to the seafaring canoes of the Mi’gmaq to Gaspésiennes. It is also the life journey of people of the sea: cod fishers, whalers and captains.
Permanent exhibition - June to October

Living Portraits
No, you’re not dreaming. The person inside the picture frame is actually moving… and talking to you… and even shifting from one picture frame to the next. It’s just like in Harry Potter! Jacques Cartier, Charles Robin, John Le Boutillier, Marguerite Bujold and Pierre Nadon: they’ve all gotten together to tell you their stories, with a touch of humour, as part of a unique, astonishing and enriching visit.
