For 13 years now, the Boréalis Museum has been offering a variety of enriching experiences exploring the history of the great adventure of paper. More than 240 000 visitors had the chance to discover the permanent exhibition Roots and Identity. As this exhibition draws to a close, both children and adults have until October 1st to rediscover the exhibition and relive the moments that characterized their experience at the Boréalis Museum one last time. Discover activities based on themes such as the Saint-Maurice River, the forest, log driving, lumberjacks and the life of worker in the paper industry. This former industrial site was transformed into a history centre where you can discover underground vaults that are unique in Canada! Also, you can make your own paper, relax yourself in the sun on the outdoor deck, access a magnificent observation tower and much more! Please note that the museum is temporarily closed until summer 2024. Off-site programming is offered during this period.

Outdoor Urban Circuit
Inspired by the sound walks of Manhattan and Paris, Boréalis presents an innovative urban circuit: First shift! First shift lets you discover the first work shift of an employee of the CIP; once the biggest paper mill in the world.

 

Filled with rich soundscapes and testimonies, this immersive tour depicts the history of the mill and the area around it, enhanced with anecdotes and archival photos. The circuit is free to visit all year, from the outdoor terminal. A smart phone is required to use the outdoor terminal. A smart phone may also be loaned by the museum during opening hours.
