The museum's collections total nearly 65,000 natural science objects and specimens. Originally housed in various local teaching institutions in the XIXth century, these collections have been enhanced over the last 125 years with the addition of numerous other objects and specimens that have a recognized scientific or historical value. The diversity of the flora and fauna of Quebec and Canada is well represented in the collection. There are also numerous specimens from elsewhere in the Americas and other continents to round out these collections.
With these collections, the conservation sector provides several services. Among other things, it responds to requests for information from the general public and collaborates directly in the exhibiting process of our museum and other museum-related institutions.
