This new series of talks at the Museopark’s museum takes a look at a specific section of the new permanent exhibition, Vanier. Our Place. A partial guided tour will be given by the museum’s curator, to provide context for the conversation that follows. Special guests will take part in a conversation held before the public. The talk will be recorded for archival purposes and will also serve as a way to contribute to the Vanier Museopark’s mission of safeguarding the heritage of the Vanier neighbourhood.
Our new permanent exhibition paints a broad portrait of Vanier, from its foundations to the neighbourhood we know today. Conversation at the Museum talks will give the public the chance to explore in greater depth a theme of particular interest to them. There’s so much to (re)discover in your museum, this is the perfect opportunity to do so!
