Museums and historic sites

Quebec museums and historical or archaeological sites preserve, interpret and share our material and intangible heritage with visitors. Each museum and historical site offers collections, exhibitions, recreations or vestiges testifying to our history. Quebec museums cover varied themes: history, sciences, arts, ethnology, natural history or industries. Historical and archaeological sites allow walking on sites of significant events or discovering traces of past civilizations. These museums and sites offer guided tours, educational activities, temporary exhibitions and cultural programming. Visiting museums and historical sites enriches knowledge, awakens curiosity and creates links between past and present. Museums embody collective memory and transmission will. Essential windows on our history and identity.
