Montreal Capital City

Discover the history of the archaeological site of St. Anne's Market and the Parliament of the Province of Canada.

In the former Fire Hall No. 1, right next to the Pointe-à-Callière Museum, you'll have access to artifacts discovered at one of Canada's largest archaeological sites, St. Anne's Market, Montreal's first indoor market. This important site has witnessed key moments in the history of Canada, Quebec and Montreal.

Excavation campaigns carried out between 2010 and 2017 by Pointe-à-Callière, with the financial support of the City of Montreal and the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec, uncovered over 350,000 artifacts, nearly 300 of which are presented in the exhibition. In addition to these objects, you'll be able to observe 3D models of the site and meet life-size historical figures.

This is an exhibition not to be missed.

N.B.: Schedules and more details can be found directly on the company's website.
