In 1922, the announcement of the creation of Montréal’s Institut du Radium was a momentous occasion that was met with much hope. This university research centre — the first of its kind in Quebec — was meant to thrust the province into the great march of Western scientific progress, and above all, enable it to be on the cutting edge in the fight against cancer. And yet, a number of events prevented this vision from being realized. This new exhibition invites you on a journey to uncover the complex inner workings and the diverse cast of characters that shaped the institute’s history.
