Pointe-à-Callière, Canada’s largest archaeology museum, offers an immersive dive into Montreal’s origins, built directly over the historic Fort Ville-Marie, where the city was founded in 1642. The museum’s permanent exhibitions reveal the city’s layered past through multimedia displays and an underground archaeological crypt. Pointe-à-Callière also draws crowds with its rotating exhibitions on topics from Easter Island to Ancient Egypt, bringing global stories to local audiences.
