VIDEO PRESENTATION OF THE MUSEUM'S EXPANSION

Pointe-à-Callière was first built, back in the early 1990s, the Museum had plans to open up the William collector sewer and the remains of St. Anne's Market and the Parliament of the United Province of Canada.

The Museum is now entering a new phase in its development, as it moves toward putting these large-scale expansion plans into effect. The goal is to expose the entire William sewer and the archaeological remains of St. Anne's Market, home to the Parliament of the United Province of Canada between 1844 and 1849. Visitors will be led to a new exhibition hall, with its entrance on McGill Street, devoted to future international exhibitions on ancient civilizations and their cultures. This ambitious expansion will allow Pointe-à-Callière to give the district an exhibition centre of national and international scope.
