They sought a more well-rounded approach that encompassed heart, body and mind. The young people entrusted to their care thus developed their intellectual potentials, social skills and spiritual lives in addition to their physical abilities.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 21px;\">The games and sports activities they participated in during their free time as well as the access they had to cultural activities like theater, film, photography and singing went a long way toward fulfilling these objectives. All these things helped foster a sense of family within the walls of their institutions.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;11217,11219&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; wrap=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1623804832463{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-right: 10px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Conical polyorama panoptique&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%23a18526&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1627324416702{margin-bottom: 13px !important;padding-right: 2vh !important;padding-left: 2vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1627324534096{padding-right: 2vh !important;padding-left: 2vh !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Tinplate, brass, enamel and glass\r\nPierre Henri Amand Lefort, Paris\r\nAfter 1849\r\n18 x 11 x 11 cm<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well before the invention of movies and the Internet, the Ursulines loved to travel through images, as we can see by the numerous optical devices in the collections. This conical polyorama panoptique, patented in 1849 by Pierre Henri Amand Lefort, is one example. An image is inserted into the device and viewed through a glass lens, which enlarges the image.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The images are prints or lithographs, colored with ink and printed recto verso. The polyorama panoptique has two openings to let light in. The image looks different depending on whether the light enters from the top or the back of the device. The Ursulines owned numerous images to use in the polyorama panoptique. Most of them depict sites in Paris or other European cities.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;11221,11223,11225&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; wrap=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1623805119027{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-right: 10px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Cylinder music box&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%23a18526&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1627324429955{margin-bottom: 13px !important;padding-right: 2vh !important;padding-left: 2vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1627565522600{padding-right: 2vh !important;padding-left: 2vh !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Wood, metal, paper, ink and varnish\r\nCharles Paillard &amp; Cie, Switzerland\r\nCirca 1880\r\n12 x 38 x 19 cm<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manufactured in Switzerland and sold by Pruneau et Kirouac (48 Fabrique Street, Quebec City), this music box dates from the end of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">19<\/span><sup>th<\/sup><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> century.
