Classified as a national archaeological and historic site, Pointe-à-Callière covers several centuries of history, from the Aboriginal period to the present day.
Located on land that bears witness to more than 1,000 years of human activity and on the very site of Montréal's founding, it houses remarkable architectural remains that are showcased in situ.
The Museum is inseparable from its site and owes its creation to the important archaeological discoveries made in Old Montréal in the 1980s.
