Social Perspectives

Map of thematic routes 

 

Museums large and small offer an original look at the different societies that make up Quebec. Some paint broad tableaux, others focus on more specific angles.

 

But all of these museums attempt to lift the veil on distinctive or common aspects of the societies whose traces they conserve, the societies they document, analyze and highlight from different perspectives.


"The differences engendered by humankind's 'cultural instinct' are countless and expressed in all facets of our lives: in the ways we eat, hold ourselves and dress and where we live; in the ways we think of and symbolically organize the world and the relations between individuals; and in the way we see relations between humans and their gods. All these practices and symbolic representations generate our identities."

La Différence,a joint exhibition by the Musée d'ethnographie de Neuchâtel, the Musée Dauphinois de Grenoble and the Musée de la civilisation, in 1995.
