Science North 'Beyond Human Limits' exhibit will be customized so that it can travel.

One of its stops during the spring of 2019 will be the North Bay Museum from May 3 to 25.

This high-energy exhibit highlights the stories, experiences and motivations of extreme athletes through interactive and hands-on displays. 

'Beyond Human Limits' immerses visitors in a variety of exciting sports in their natural environments. 

Vistors to this exhibit have the opportunity to learnhow athletes face risks, pursue passions, and push personal limits.

“Developing ‘Made in Northern Ontario’ hands-on and interactive travelling exhibitions on current topics such as the exciting world of extreme sports, allows Science North to stimulate the Northern economy through job creation and skill development and uphold Science North’s reputation as a world-leader in science education and quality visitor experiences,” said Guy Labine, Science North CEO in a release today.

FedNor made the announcement today that they will be investing $350,000 into Science North so that they can travel with the exhibit, creating new economic and tourism opportinities across Northern Ontario. The funding is provided through FedNor's Northern Ontario Development Program, supporting projects that promote sustainable community economic development, enhance business development and growth, and facilitate innovation.
