In addition to fossils, we offer an introduction to the fascinating world of insects, as well as a tour of our insect and butterfly collection.

We are well equipped and organized to accommodate groups of up to 60 students.

Our team fosters learning, by helping kids discover science in a simple and natural way, using their senses and interactive activities.

Why choose
the fossilarium?

To have fun while learning! What could be simpler?

We are one of several museums supported by the La culture à l'école program (culture in school), run by Quebec's department of culture and communication. This means you can request financial assistance to come and visit us. http://www.mcc.gouv.qc.ca/index.php?id=2024
