Pointe-a-Calliere, Montreal Archaeology and History Complex, Montreal

Very nice museum, largely about the history of Montreal and its origins, but sometimes has temporary exhibits of a curious nature. There was a cool one about Vikings when I went, and they had one on Egyptian mummies not long ago. Fun stuff! Oh and don't miss the bilingual multimedia presentation about the history of Montreal. It's beautifully executed! 👌 Pro-tip: Buy your tickets online and you can go to the "fast queue" when entering the museum.

One of the top museums I've ever visited! I love Montreal, and this museum is one of the reasons. The presentation of history is so fresh and engaging. The museum is literally built over ongoing excavations of parts of the original town settlement. It's mind-blowing! You can look down into excavations of original walls and taverns as you wander through the otherwise thoroughly modern presentation of facts and history, complete with fun lighted tunnels and audio presentations. If you have any interest in history at all, you will LOVE this museum, and if you don't, you just may develop an interest as a result of the wonderful exhibitions.
