Hi

 

I have a query for colleagues in the US or Canada.  Does anyone have a
real snowmobile in their exhibition?  As part of a new exhibition on
environmental adaptation we would like to have a real snowmobile that
visitors can sit on while they do other activities.  One of our options
is to import a vehicle from North America.  If anyone over there already
displays a snowmobile, presumably you have worked with a supplier to
secure loose/moving parts (we don't necessarily want a working unit).
Would anyone be able to offer any advice or suggest people we should
contact?

 

Many thanks

Hi,

 

You should contact the Bombardier Museum in Valcourt, Quebec, Canada. at
http://www.museebombardier.com/entrance.htm They are the place where the
snowmobile was invented.

 

You could talk with Louise Lemay, she is the executive director.
