  5. Which symbols can be found on the flag of Montreal?
  6. What does this 4 symbols stand for?
  7. Who is the well-known figure who is represented as a statue in the museum?
  8. Which famous international firm made the time clock that can be seen in the museum? (time clock: clock that you can find at the entrance of a compagny to track time spent by employees in the company)
