DREAMING THE CITY
In the heart of a scenography inspired by the architectural geometry of Habitat 67, video archives completely immerse visitors in the festive spirit of Expo 67. The exhibition also uses video mapping, a technology that can project images onto three-dimensional surfaces.

DREAMING THE LABYRINTH
Virtual reality adds to the experience, allowing everyone to explore the iconic film In the Labyrinth in the eponymous pavilion. Visitors also delve into the humanist vision of Expo 67 through a manuscript by Gabrielle Roy. In 1963, the Canadian novelist took part in a conference at Montebello which brought together personalities from the artistic and intellectual world who were behind the different themes of the world’s fair. The exhibition ends on a more personal and nostalgic note with slides and artefacts from Expo 67 belonging to three Montreal collectors, who tell their stories through audio tracks.
