A new exhibit at Quebec City's Museum of Civilization, in partnership with Netflix, is immersing visitors in the world of special-effects filmmaking. It gives Quebecers a behind-the-scenes look at making the movies we know and love. 

The "Special Effects!" exhibit is divided according to "the major stages in the creation of a film or television production: the office, the set and the studio," each with several interactive features.
