Sherbrooke Nature and Science Museum, Natural history museum in downtown Sherbrooke, Canada.
The Sherbrooke Nature and Science Museum is a natural history museum in downtown Sherbrooke housing over 65,000 specimens. The collection includes amphibians, reptiles, birds, fossils, invertebrates, plants, and minerals from North America.
The institution was founded in 1879 when the Musée du Séminaire de Sherbrooke began collecting natural science specimens. The museum relocated to its present building in 2002, continuing its tradition of preservation and education.
The museum presents exhibitions in French and English with interactive elements that showcase the natural world and scientific discovery relevant to Quebec. Visitors experience how these subjects shape local education and public understanding of nature.
The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages and free parking for visitors. Picnic areas and a shop are available year-round, making it convenient for families and groups.
The building was once the Julius-Kayser Factory, where lingerie was manufactured before its conversion into an educational space. Today it houses an interactive science theater that brings the space to life with demonstrations and presentations.
