About thirty natural specimens and technological objects that share common principles are showcased, as well as interactive displays that explain these concepts. Did you know that the PWC hydrojet is inspired by the squid’s propulsion system? That smart cars use a detection system similar to that of the locust? That there is an ultra-resistant type of glass inspired by shells? Everything there is to know about biomimicry and the technologies of the future is at your fingertips! Make learning fun! The temporary exhibition at the J. Armand Bombardier Museum of Ingenuity Star in a Ski-Doo® snowmobile advertisement, take command of a C Series airplane, imagine a vehicle of the future and test it out in the Idea Studio! Families get to learn all the while having a great time! Give your visit an interactive component by trying out the game on a tablet lent to you on site, and explore the permanent exhibition as you look for all kinds of artifacts (vehicles, objects, photos, archives). The game lets you learn more about Bombardier’s ingenuity about transport in a dynamic way. Guided tours of the storehouse The museum now offers guided tours of its storehouse! These 20-minute visits are given every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday and let visitors get a behind-the-scenes look.
