Presentation
The Museum owes its development to archaeological discoveries made in Old Montréal in the eighties. In 1992, Pointe-à-Callière opened to the public on the very spot where Montréal was founded, 350 years earlier. Designated a national archaeological and historic site, Pointe-à-Callière presents centuries of history from the settlements of the First Nations to the present day. Explore history through an original underground circuit leading through archaeological excavations.
