Aquarium du Québec and Déjà-Vu Stimulation

The customer

The Aquarium du Québec is a popular tourist attraction in the Quebec City area for its educational programs and interactive exhibits on marine life. With the launch of the olfactory station, Eau’dorat, it is now possible to smell wetlands and immerse yourself in the nose of a polar bear or a shark.

Project summary

Stimulation Déjà-Vu presents a new interactive exhibition that lets visitors immerse themselves in the marine world in an innovative way. The olfactory station gives visitors the chance to put themselves in the shoes of a bear or shark and discover the aquatic world through touch and smell.

It’s a first for an aquarium to have such an exhibition. It was very well received by the public, and even attracted media coverage for the Aquarium du Québec.

The challenge

It’s important for museums and permanent attractions to renew themselves to attract new audiences. Innovative ideas from companies such as Stimulation Déjà-Vu are making such stations a reality.

Today, to stand out from the crowd, you need to employ innovative ideas and use technology to enhance the customer experience.

The solution

This unique exhibition offers the opportunity to immerse oneself in the marine world in a different way, and shows a new perspective on the exploration of aquatic environments.

The EAU’DORAT exhibition contains :

a varied olfactory station with information;
the opportunity to immerse yourself sensorially in the life of a polar bear and a shark, to become aware of their way of life;
marketing this exhibition to attract new visitors.

Results and findings

The exhibition was much appreciated by visitors and generated a great deal of enthusiasm. Good media coverage also helped to highlight the efforts and create excitement.

If we had to do it all over again, the materials would be chosen more for their durability, since we had to change several parts.
