2021 December 4.5★ A small museum with 2 full levels of exhibits, the other levels are considerably smaller. Free parking is available on the side. While this museum is small, it's displays are beautiful. Absolutely stunning pieces of well arranged art. Wonderfully elegantly placed and put together with pride. Currently on the main floor, you'll find historic pieces from different regions. Historic pieces that tell stories of the past with focus on nature. Some pieces in the collection are absolutely intriguing. On the same floor, there's an interactive 4D experience showcase telling the history of Sherbrooke. Kids loved it as they get to be immersed in the process. On the upper floor, there's a display called Alter@nima, wildlife taxidermy is displayed and arranged beautifully. Look at the pictures yourself and see! Better yet, if you're in the area, stop by. It'll only take about 2 hours of you take time to admire the settings and attend the interactive program. In the basement, it's a small display for kids, a tornado machine, earth quake machine and 2 rooms for play. One is a colors based area, the other... I'm not so sure of. This floor was a bit underwhelming. There's an area for sitting. Maybe a classroom style display. While the actual displays are limited as there's limited space here, i thought it was like artwork with what they had. Would come by if you haven't been. I think it would be good for visitors.
I decided to not give this place a 3 star because it is well kept and the displays are well setup. The appearance is overall nice, with a very modernized interior design for a museum. This is a very small museum btw. There isn't much in terms of "displays." It seems that half of the Museum is for authorized personal only. They should use more of that space to expand the museum and introduce new displays. I also find that the entrance fee is a little expensive for what it has to offer, compared to other museums. But considering that many museums are given government aid to continue functioning one cannot complain about it. The parking is located beside the building and is free. It's a good place to go too for an hour. The museum consists of a few local artifacts, taxidermy animals, an educational area for children, an earthquake platform that holds up to 4 people, an eating area, gift shop, and a few other odds and ends.
What a great little museum! The guides were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and fully bilingual. The interactive exhibit on the creation of the earth was fabulously fun. The permanent exhibit with animals was very interesting and held my 7 year olds attention more than I expected. Would visit again.
Not a lot going on for the price. Taxidermy animal exhibit, circus exhibit that's kinda whatever. Didn't see the history of sherbrooke exhibit, but just the first two really not worth the price for a ticket.

A must visit when you're in or around Sherbrooke. It has 3 exhibits each one of them better than the previous. And for 13$ it's a bargain. The staff are very kind and courteous. You don't need to be a science buff, but I'm sure visiting this will spark a tiny curiosity in science.
I was delight with thus exposition. I took my time to learn how for years there have been people who have been using the earth's resources wisely and we can take care but the permanent solution is not in one nation hands but the creator
Nice exhibits but rather small. Good to visit if you're taking the murals walk because it's on the route.

A small museum that you can cover in 2 hours Have a excellent travelling rock and roll exhibit. A very large stuffed animal collection with interactive search. Fun for the whole family.
Great collection of animals, minerals, and other knick knacks. The whole place was very small and didn't take long to fully cover but I can't complain since the price was good!
Nice museum, with a lot of curiosities, a welcoming atmosphere and you can learn about the work of university students. I recommend you take a look.
A bit outdated. Technologies isnt there yet. Id your kids are young (below 7) its ok. Otherwise there is a lack of details, explanations, infos etc.
The current expositions are very well conceived, and presented. Friendly staff will explain the different options. Ideal for kids or families.
Simulator experience for Tornado and history of Sherbrooke was new for me. So it was exciting. Stuffed animal collection was good too.
Very educational and enjoyable museum, a lot of expositions that alternate throughout the year, really worth a visit.
Small...but still worth seeing. Awesome show gatta see the movie of easterntownships during Dino times. To today.
Very well done and impressive.
