The Museum of Civilization not only takes a fresh look at the human experience but also stuns you with its beautiful creations, right from the entrance! Come learn about the men and women who helped to shape the city’s identity at one of the many exhibits in the museum called “People of Quebec… then and now.” They wind the clock back almost 400 years with audio accounts by actors imitating key historical figures. Apart from the rich collection of artifacts like coats of arms, coins, and flags, there are more than enough exhibitions and activities to marvel at! This institute emphasizes learning through interacting, so there are activities for people of all age groups. The onsite cafe at the museum provides a wonderful view of the St. Lawrence and serves wine and beer.
