Gloria Algae. Marine Algae of Quebec by Marcelle Gauvreau
Little (re)known naturalist and botanist Marcelle Gauvreau worked to advance science, particularly through her research on local algae, and to popularise it among young people. Inspired by the few existing algae herbaria around the world, this artistic and scientific project, a collaboration between photographer Yves Lavoie and museologist and researcher Philippe Denis, pays tribute to her.
Presented jointly at the Redpath Museum (Montreal) and the Reford Gardens (Grand-Métis), the exhibition aims to introduce visitors to this important scientific figure and to present a few specimens of local algae as a fun way to compensate for the impossibility of going to the beach to learn about algae harvesting and the creation of an algae collection, both sources of enthusiasm and knowledge.
From September 2 to October 18.
Temporary exhibition room, 2nd floor.
