The most popular topics and those that best represent Quebec’s uniqueness—language, gastronomy, hockey, First Nations, folktales and legends, ingenuity, winter, music—are featured. Each section begins with a typical Quebec expression tied to its theme. The exhibition offers a playful, interactive socio-cultural portrait of Quebecers.

The exhibition also showcases the museum’s rich ethnological collection.
