After welcoming more than 80,000 visitors in Ottawa, The Man Who Planted Trees: An Immersive Story is now presented in our studios.
The Man Who Planted Trees, the story that has captivated the imagination of several generations, comes to life in a spectacular immersive experience. Inspired by Frédéric Back’s Oscar-winning film and Jean Giono’s short story, this exhibition celebrates hope and the essential role trees play in the cycle of life.
Discover the story of a shepherd determined to reforest a barren valley, and how, seed by seed, he brings a forest back to life. Is it true, as people say, that each of us holds the power to act on our world?
Through immersive environments, interactive discoveries, and engaging scientific content, explore the vital role trees play in sustaining life — and why protecting them matters.
