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.

RAW FACTS – Photos by Charles-Frédérick Ouellet and Nicolas Lévesque From November 23, 2024 to April 30, 2025

The year 2023 was marked by an exceptionally intense fire season in North America. What remains after the fire has passed? Nicolas Lévesque and Charles-Frédérick Ouellet explored the unorganized territory of the Passes-Dangereuses in search of clues testifying to this natural process. Their approach highlights an irreversible paradigm shift: one in which human beings realize the urgency of coexisting with their natural environment.

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.
