During the cold season, give yourself the gift of a day at the museum, where it’s always nice and warm!

Le Biophare
Confluence: an immersion where two rivers meet
The new permanent exhibition Confluence, the largest ever created at the Biophare, will transport you to the heart of the land where the Richelieu and St. Lawrence rivers meet: the Lac Saint-Pierre Biosphere Region.
An immersive set invites you to explore close connections between humans and water–the exhibit’s throughline. Interactive models, aquariums and filmed testimonials, among other things, come together to create a journey through natural heritage, regional history and exceptional biodiversity. At the end of the exhibit, the whole family will be invited to reflect and imagine more sustainable ways to share this precious UNESCO-recognized jewel.
Discover local coexistence at a new exhibit: Cohabiter: 25 ans de partage au Lac Saint-Pierre
Presented on the 25th anniversary of Lac Saint-Pierre’s designation as a UNESCO Biosphere Region, the new temporary exhibit, Cohabiter: 25 ans de partage au Lac Saint-Pierre, invites you to pause and contemplate. Through a series of evocative photographs, the exhibit reveals an ecosystem teeming with life, driven by the rhythm of the seasons, where humans and biodiversity learn to evolve together.
Nicknamed “The Amazon of Quebec,” this exceptional territory stands out with its rich natural setting and the local communities’ commitment to preserving a balance essential to its future.
When creativity and sustainability come together
At the heart of the Confluence exhibit, sustainable development becomes concrete action. In designing the exhibit, the Biophare chose to rescue and bring new value to elements of previous exhibits that have reached the end of their runs. Several recycled structures were integrated into the new museography, significantly reducing the amount of residual waste created during construction.
Mindful of inclusion, the team also ensured that the entirety of the exhibit is fully accessible to visitors with reduced mobility.
