A unique museum which, in addition to tracing back the history of healthcare and sacred heritage, evokes the true origins of Ville-Marie. It explores the foundation of Montreal and the Hôtel-Dieu (which Jeanne Mance founded), the arrival in 1659 of the Hospitallers of St. Joseph, the Nursing Sisters, and the evolution of medicine and nursing sciences. Discover the artifacts, art and medical objects that witnessed this history. Guided tours of the garden at the old monastery, the monastery itself, and the crypt and chapel are offered on certain dates. Various tours highlighting the religious heritage are offered in the summer and fall.
