One of a few museums honouring the efforts of religious missionaries in Quebec's early history, this small collection near the Artillery Park National Historic Site commemorates the construction of North America's first hospital. The Hôtel-Dieu opened in 1639 under the watchful eyes of nuns from les Augustines Hospitalières. Visitors will find a charming collection of furniture, portraits, and everyday objects from life in the 17th century. Period medical equipment is especially interesting. Admission is free, as are guided tours held throughout open hours.
