Two unique exhibits open at the museum this spring: Marcel Barbeau, Vibrato and Véronique Béland – Collaboration Espace [IM] Média. Complementary activities, including guided tours and creative workshops for kids, are on the museum’s summer schedule, as well as a series of conferences about the exhibits.

Discover close to thirty natural specimens and technological objects that share common principles, and manipulate interactive displays highlighting these concepts.
Two new exhibitions will be presented at the Museum this summer! From June 21 to October 14, the Museum will be hosting an award-winning exhibition that comes straight from the Montreal Science Centre: GENIE AUTOCHTONE. If the exhibition has received an award, the natives should also receive one for their many inventions still in use today.
From July to September, open your ears wide and listen carefully... because this summer, at the Museum, SOUNDS are in the spotlight in the exhibition SON, QUE DU SON! You will be fully entertained, with the added bonus of knowledge about sound propagation, ear function and innovative acoustic technologies.
In 2019, Bruck Museum celebrates the region’s rich textile heritage. Visit to discover Cowansville’s working class roots, as well as the intangible legacy of the Bruck Mills and textile industry in the Eastern Townships as a whole.

The year 2019 will mark the 60th summer of the Théâtre la Marjolaine!

Starring Dorothée Berryman, Chantal Lamarre, Caroline Lavigne, Lisa Palmieri, Rosie-Anne Bérubé-Bernier and Andy St-Louis, Les NONNES is a variety show with no real intrigue... The key here is to have fun. And they will!
