One of the oldest museum artifacts in the world has been added to a world-class collection of science and technology at Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation.

At more than a billion years old, this glass bottle of ancient water is a sample of the oldest flowing water ever discovered. An example of a recent Canadian discovery and innovation, this outstanding piece of heritage, accompanied by some of the tools that were used during the collection and analysis of the sample, will be housed in the new Ingenium Centre where it can remain accessible for research, interpretation, and collection development.
