PERMANENTEXHIBITION
The Cosmodôme reaches a turning point in its history… The permanent exhibition featuring the Solar System and the evolution of astronautics, which has been on display for 12 years, has reached the end of its useful life.
As of September 3, this section of the museum will be temporarily closed to make way for construction work on the new immersive, interactive exhibition on the future of space exploration.
We can’t wait to unveil it to you!
Our permanent exhibition gives you a chance to learn more about astronautics, the history of space exploration and the various planets in our solar system.

MOON ROCK
Did you know that we have a lunar rock in the museum? There is only 5 in Canada! The 12 astronauts who walked on the Moon brought back approximately 384 kg of lunar rocks. Perserved with great care in a neutral atmosphere and elaborately studied, these priceless rocks are made up of the same elements found on Earth but in different proportions. In view of the great care given to studying them and keeping them in a controlled environment, we are extremely privileged to be able to have one of these lunar rocks here!
