Built on the site where Montreal's founders first landed, this history and archeology museum opened exactly 350 years after the event, in 1992. It stands on the remains of original historical buildings, and parts of the old fortification walls are on display. It features a multimedia show and an underground archaeological tour, along with various temporary exhibits. Highlights include the triangular Éperon Building, the former Customs House, and Place Royale.
