The Colby-curtis Museum in Stanstead is announcing that the second edition of its temporary exhibition Bêtes et Bestiaire – Animals from the Colby-curtis Collection, is currently underway. The enriched and revised edition of the beloved exploratio­n of the theme of animals in the museum’s collection will be on display presented from now until to December 19, 2021.

Young and old alike are invited on a journey through the Museum’s collection of more than 500 objects. The exhibition is the second in a series that aims to shed light on the hidden treasures of the Museum, be they objects of daily life, exceptiona­l artefacts, or strange objects. Come with the family!

This exhibition is made possible by the financial support from the ministère de la Culture et des
