Pointe-à-Callière
Old Montréal, Montréal, Canada
Pointe-à-Callière makes Montréal’s history tangible by placing archaeological remains at the centre of the museum experience. The relationship between the site and the city above gives the permanent exhibitions a particular immediacy, while temporary shows broaden the perspective beyond local history. Allow time to move slowly through the archaeological spaces and follow the stories they reveal. Check the current programme and visiting information before arriving, then combine the museum with a walk through the surrounding historic district.
