La Pulperie de Chicoutimi / Musée régional

Presentation of several temporary exhibitions on various themes in addition to 3 permanent exhibitions to visit all year round. 

Temporary exhibitions:

One passion, two wheels, three stories From June 1, 2024 to April 27, 2025

The bicycle has profoundly changed societies and individuals since its appearance in the 19th century. It alone is a real vector of change, both in the countryside and in the city, because it is the most used mode of transport in the world; there are more than 1.5 billion bicycles on the planet. Thanks to its dozens of bicycles from all eras, this exhibition brilliantly illustrates the special and unique relationship we have with this invention which literally changed the world.

Daniel T. Tremblay – Manifestations of Mystery From June 1 to September 22, 2024

Beyond the excessive and at times outrageous nature of his works, Daniel T. Tremblay takes a critical look at society around him. As a self-taught painter born in Chicoutimi in 1956, he brings to life his visions, developing connections between here and elsewhere, between the known and the unknown.

Celebrating the Fleurdelisé From May 4 to September 22, 2024

The exhibition traces the history of the adoption of the Fleurdelisé as the official flag of Quebec and celebrates its anniversary. The story of the Fleurdelisé told in the exhibition allows us to commemorate the anniversary of its adoption and brilliantly illustrates our collective Quebec pride!

An exhibition by Pointe-à-Callière, Montreal Archaeology and History Complex, through the support of the Ministère de la Langue française, adapted by La Pulperie.

Permanent exhibitions:

Chek8timi  

Get immersed in the fascinating history of the Chicoutimi trading post with this interactive historical and archaeological exhibition. Regional history being closely tied to its geographical setting, the main focus of the exhibition is to reveal that history through the lens of the Chicoutimi trading post historic site, both inside the museum, in the exhibition hall, and outside, at the actual site of the Chicoutimi trading post.

Arthur Villeneuve - Far from naive!  

This exhibition retraces the career of the painter Arthur Villeneuve and looks back on several significant events in his life.

His career was marked by the production of nearly 4000 paintings and 2000 drawings.
