Musée de la Civilisation

The Musée de la Civilisation has been dubbed ‘the museum of human adventure’ for its unique look at cultural Canada (and beyond) and commitment to interactive programs and workshops. Set on a historic site in the heart of the Lower Town, the beautiful building—designed by celebrated architect Moshe Safdie—recreates an 18th century house, a stone wharf, a monumental sculpture and many exhibition rooms and auditoriums. Their diverse traveling exhibitions include explorations of extraterrestrials, the notion of leisure time around the world and the history of Canadian animation filmmakers. There are also permanent displays on the first settlers in Québec, its people and territories. Indagare members can contact the Bookings Team to arrange a guided tour.
