As a reinterpretation of Line Garden, installed every year since 2014 on the site of the Reford Gardens, in Grand-Métis, the Roof Line Garden II, on the roof terrace of the Museum of Civilization, offers the public a new outdoor space of enchantment and relaxation.

Barricade tape is a ubiquitous, man-made material, typically used to delineate a perimeter and keep people out, but in Roof Line Garden II  it invites visitors in, creating a playful and vibrant canopy.

Visitors are invited to settle there, to live an experience both visual and auditory that changes according to the intensity of the light and the wind and the resultant varying rustling of the ribbons.

This year, designers Julia Jamrozik and Coryn Kempster were inspired by the color contrasts of poisonous frogs hiding in the foliage of a plant and the theme of natural science. The installation thus has colors that are linked to Venenum: A Poisonous World and Curiosities of the Natural World, the two main exhibitions of the Museum of Civilization.
