Traces and memories of the seigneurial system in Québec
Musée de la mémoire vivante
About the exhibition
Brown, White and Black: Bears of Canada invites visitors to discover these mythical Canadian wildlife. Bears have always been feared and hunted, and sometimes mythologized, and they occupy a prominent place in First Nations cultures. Playful and original, the exhibition reaches far beyond clichés of teddy bears and bloodthirsty monsters.
This exhibition is produced by the Musée du Fjord, in partnership with the Zoo sauvage de Saint-Félicien and the Musée amérindien de Mashteuiatsh, and with financial support from the Department of Canadian Heritage.
About the institution
The mission of the Musée du Fjord is to promote science, particularly aquatic science, and to interpret the natural and historical heritage of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, especially that of the Saguenay Fjord and Ha! Ha! Bay. The Museum also raises awareness among the community and the wider public about the importance of maintaining a harmonious balance with the natural environment.
