Permanent Exhbition
Roots and Identity
Experience a unique encounter between man and machine through Roots and Identity, an exhibit that takes place in an actual architectural jewel: The old filtration plant of Canadian International Paper. With more than a century of history, the paper industry reveals its many facets through themes such as logging, the omnipresence of water, factory work, lumberjacks and loggers, and the construction of workers' neighbourhoods. A return to the great workers of the past to understand the challenges this great industry faces in the future!
Discover how a paper machine works, experiment with water pumping and filtration, feel the heat, smell, humidity and noise of the paper industry of the 20th century, discover a huge multimedia fresco all about the forest, explore the underground vaults that generate so much excitement, dive into the unique world of a water tower in the centre of the St-Maurice River...BORÉALIS is all this. BORÉALIS is more than this. It is a memorable experience!
