pointe-a-calliere museum印象

This is a must-see in Montreal for several reasons. First, it's a unique introduction to the city, including archeological treasures beneath the building. Second, it's a first-class piece of architecture, a sleek modern building near the St Lawrence River that suggests a boat and complements the old stone buildings around it. Third, it attracts very good exhibits housed in a separate building across a narrow street. Fourth, it has a fabulous restaurant with a view of the waterfront. My only caveats are that the tour guides speak English poorly, quite unnecessary in a city with so many English-speaking people. There are even mistakes in some of the translations of permanent signs. Otherwise, wonderful.

This is a fascinating archaeological museum right in the Old Port of Montreal. The museum itself is built on Montreal's original founding site, so the museum itself is an archaeological dig that reveals foundations of buildings on that site hundreds of years ago and what lies beneath them. Before touring the museum, don't miss the multi-media film presentation in the theater off the main lobby that presents the entire history of Montreal in about 15 or 20 minutes. There is a great little lunch restaurant as well, with great window and terrace views of the Old Port. This is the first place I take visitors when I want to introduce them to the City of Montreal.

I went here with my family for "The Greeks" exhibition last week. My gosh, it was absolutely stunning. All the artifacts were so beautiful! We went with a guide, who explained everything so perfectly! Before that, we went to see a show that had to do with Montreal and its history which was very fun also.

A place that is worth a visit. The interactive film and display of the original landing point for settlers are fantastic. The future expansion plans are exciting and will be worth another visit.

I wished we visited this on our first day in Montreal -not our last. We learned so much! It would've helped in our exploring this great city, knowing the significance of certain places.

This is an interesting place if you're interested in archeology. It's a lovely place, architecturally, and it's in Old Montreal, a great place to stroll and poke around. Have lunch or a coffee at Olive + Gourmando on St. Paul & St. Pierre – and pop into Espace Pepin across the street to browse and shop.

This is an ugly building in almost every way.I am sure someone thinks it industrial cool but to us it was industrial shabby.I think it started as a good idea but somehow it failed.The museum is built on the broken down lower walls of the original old city and you simply wander around them and look at the occasional poster.The signage is poor, but the assistants are friendly and helpful.Really not worth a visit. I learned more about Montreal by visiting the Chateau de Ramzey and looking at the many old buildings and streets that are still standing. It was also expensive. I was looking forward to seeing the old custom house. but all the walls were masked by false ceilings and walls!!So, in summary: shabby, not much there, depressing architecture, little information and few exhibits, yet expensive - doesn't really sound like a museum, does it?I don't often say this, but a complete waste of time and money.

It's fun to walk in the actual ruins and see what Montreal used to look like throughout the centuries. It doesn't take too long either. Fun for everyone.

Pointe-à-Callière is a museum dedicated to the history and archeology of Montreal. It is very nice and has beautiful temporary exhibitions on various subjects. I went there to see one on samurais and I want to bakc soon to see the one they have presently on the grecs.

Nicely designed modern building that interconnects to the underground ruins of the old city. Started with a video presentation and spotlight with various stages of the arrival of settlers, the English and French attempts to dominate the area, and the development of the modern city. Nice restaurant with great view on top floor ! Well worth the entry fee - there are discounts for out of town travelers and multiple entries at the many Montreal educational, museums, art and music venues if you buy the package.
