The [https://nature.ca/en/about-us/products-services/travelling-exhibition-rentals '''Nature on Tour'''] program of the Canadian Museum of Nature offers travelling exhibitions that provide OLMCs from all across Canada with access to exhibitions and educational experiences. These exhibitions cover a variety of subjects on the theme of nature, in both official languages. They are designed in close collaboration with schools and community organizations in order to enhance and increase community cultural experiences. This serves to educate and inspire Canadians, including the OLMCs, on the history and exploration of nature.
