What a great museum. If you are in Old Montreal, take the time and check this place out. While they have space on the second floor for installations that change, the basement is where it's at. It was built over part of the city from the time Montreal was first settled. The basement was excavated and you are walking the same paths that people did hundreds of years ago. It is interesting to see the foundations of the buildings, and artifacts that were found as you learn about the history of the city. It's truly a cool place and myself, my wife and our ten year old daughter ALL agreed. Anytime history and learning engages young and old alike someone has done something right. I'm really glad we ran into this place while out exploring the city. Check it out!
