The Museum’s unique collections
total over 65 000 objects and specimens from the natural sciences. Coming
from various educational institutions dating from the mid-19th century, these
collections have been enriched over the past 130 years through donations
acquisitions of objects and specimens of important historical or scientific
value. The diversity of the
Quebec and Canadian fauna and flora is extremely well featured. Many specimens also come
from the other areas of the Americas and even from other continents.
Through these invaluable
collections, the Musée’s conservation department provides many important and
crucial services. It answers questions from the general public and
also collaborates closely with the scientific community as well as other museums
or scientific institutions.
