Very nice place to visit, there are interesting conferences about different and interesting topics, I went to one about the history of Montreal’s police and few items from the police museum used by old time police, their 3rd floor changed 2-3 times a year for a theme exposition, I’ve ha seen there one related to Expo 67 and another related toMontreal City of Vice in the old days, their 1st stage you can find very interesting Montréal history divided by time periods, easy to understand and kid friendly, you can interact with certain artifacts ( only these will have the sign that you can touch) to enhance experience

Wonderful museum on the history of Montreal. The exhibits are laid out well and are both in French and English. Great way to kill an hour or two.

A really good local museum that has a nice overview of the history of the city of Montreal and surrounding area. The displays are excellent with lots of good props and maps and video displays.
