per person

Designated a national archaeological and historic site, Pointe-à-Callière Museum is a museum of archaeology and history in Old Montreal, presented centuries of history from the settlements of our First Peoples to the present day.

It was founded in 1992 as part of celebrations to mark Montreal’s 350th birthday and is the only substantial archaeological museum in Canada. It is also the largest and most visited history museum in Montréal.

Located on a spot occupied by humans for more than a thousand years and on the very site where Montréal was founded, the Museum is home to some remarkable architectural ruins that are showcased on site.

Combine with Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal attraction or Old Montreal tours and sleep nearby on the best hotels.

Pointe-à-Callière consists of seven pavilions and structures: the Éperon Building, the Marketplace, the Old Custom House, Mariners’ House, the Youville Pumping Station and, since 2017, Fort Ville-Marie and the First Collector Sewer.
