Historical
Background
In the Fall of 2002, after over 120 years of promoting the
conservation and creating passion for natural sciences as a school museum, the
Musée du Séminaire de Sherbrooke moved into a newly renovated building
overlooking the majestic Magog river gorge and became the Musée de la nature et
des sciences. The portion of the former textile mill which the museum recently
acquired allows for better working conditions, improved conservation areas and
increased the visitor experience at the same time. The new site allows the
population to have access to new public grounds of unique beauty and appeal
right in the heart of downtown Sherbrooke.
