The tour includes a tactile experience led by scientific animators: touch live lobsters, starfish and sea urchins! Upstairs, two temporary exhibitions are presented: Exceptional Beings. When science competes with fiction, and Tentacles and Co. In addition to the exhibitions, the museum offers a wide range of activities to discover, taste and learn about the St. Lawrence:
