In Other Words, Québec

Musée de la civilisation

• New Exhibition Dedicated to the Titanic
  From May 15 to November 23, 2025, the public will be able to admire objects that belonged to members of the crew and the people who traveled on board (jewelry, clothing, everyday objects and archives). The museum promises an extremely touching and exclusive Canadian exhibition on the construction of the ship and the organization of life on board. Nearly 200 treasures will be presented and highlighted inside reconstructions of spaces that made up the so-called unsinkable liner. 

• Crowds: Humans in Interaction
  Dates to come. The subject of much criticism, the crowd has often been perceived in the collective imagination as a strange, even disturbing creature. Drawing on the most recent principles of interdisciplinary research, the exhibition intends to deconstruct the negative image that has been associated with it for too long.

Aloha Complex

From fall 2025, AlohaSurf will be installed within the Aloha Complex, an entertainment space bringing together a multitude of activities (surfing, virtual golf center, training center) allowing you to surpass yourself while having fun. A restaurant-pub space with a view of the wave will also be set up in a modern, bright and tropical atmosphere.
