During the last decade of the Huron-Wendat Museum’s existence, an exhibition has been touring every two years, each one showcasing Huron-Wendat artists and artists from elsewhere, important objects from our collections as well as themes that are often little known and innovative.
Touring
The Canoe, Bearer of Traditions
In location up to your institutions, available until 2027!
This new, interactive, non-contact multimedia exhibition invites you to explore the secrets of the cedar canoe and the transmission of knowledge related to its construction through four generations of the Picard family.
The exhibition discusses the history and mythology of the canoe, the different building techniques used in Wendake and the oral tradition of elders associated with the cedar canoe. In addition, it invites you to participate in an interactive experience that shares Huron-Wendat know-how and makes you feel like you’re in the workshop of craftsman Maurice Picard Jr. Discover some interactive terminals gradually revealed with mysmartjourney.com !
