  • This is probably the best place to begin your visit of Montreal if you are a first-time visitor, because it will introduce you to the history of the city and help you better understand the culture and people. At first I wasn't sure we were going to the right building, because the guide book said the museum had the foundations of Montreal, including the first buildings, but from the outside it was very modern. Sure enough, we were in the right place. You can buy your tickets, but you can't tour the whole museum until you watch a show, which lasted about 15 minutes. The show is set in an auditorium above some ruins from early Montreal, has lots of lights, big screens, and earphones that narrate in 8 languages. Basically it gives you a very brief summary of Montreal's history and puts it in terms that children could understand - all told in a woman's voice in first-person perspective (she is the city). After the tour you can walk around underground and see the early foundations of the city, as well as read about the history in greater detail. There are some artifacts from the natives and early settlers, and it really gives insight into the history and turmoil that Montreal went through. From there you can continue on to a segment about pirates, which is totally for kids but still has interesting things for adults. I was tempted to play on the big pirate ship replica, but held back and instead read about the life and times of piracy and privateering. There is also two rotating exhibits, when we went it was an exhibit for Agatha Christie and "Traces of Man". We toured the Traces while waiting for the show to begin and were pleasantly surprised. It features artifacts from Quebec's natives up through modern-day people, including cans from the 60s and a door from a passenger ship. Definitely worth a visit, you can easily spend 2-3 hours here.
