Its permanent exhibition of more than 4,000 m allows visitors to examine architectural remuants, archaeological artifacts and an 18th-century heritage building. The Museum's goal is to bring the history of Montréal alive and to illustrateit in an entertaining way. Visitors roam among authentic remuants testifying to the successive inhabitants of this site: Indians, French, British, North Americans and Quebeckers. A tour of the Museum, alone, as a family or with an interpreter-guide, is a chance to discover Montréal through its archaeological heritage. It also leads us to reflect on our own role in the way the past is preserved. Finally, it makes us think about how the traces we in turn leave behind will be tomorrow's heritage for the generations to come.","PeriodicalId":290891,"journal":{"name":"MUSÉOLOGIE/MUSEOLOGY","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117227220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pointe-à-Callière a pour mission de faire connaître et aimer l'histoire de Montréal. En visitant le musée, le public circule parmi des vestiges anciens et authentiques qui témoignent de la succession séculaire des populations amérindienne, française, britannique, nord-américaine et québécoise sur ce site. La visite du musée, faite seule, en famille ou en compagnie d'un(e) guide animateur, est l'occasion de découvrir Montréal par son patrimoine archéologique. Elle est aussi l'occasion de réfléchir sur notre propre rôle dans le processus de conservation des traces du passé; elle nous permet également de prendre conscience que nous laissons à notre tour des traces qui constitueront, pour les générations à venir, le patrimoine de demain.","PeriodicalId":290891,"journal":{"name":"MUSÉOLOGIE/MUSEOLOGY","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128630908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
