Pointe-du-Buisson, Quebec Museum of Archaeology
Located in Beauharnois, the Pointe-du-Buisson Quebec Museum of Archaeology will expose the fascinating world of archaeologists to you at a 5,000-year-old prehistoric site. Founded 25 years ago, and known in the north-eastern part of the continent for its reference collection, this museum is an exceptional grouping of 17 archaeological sites in the forest where 2 million objects have been discovered. Come discover and experience Quebec archaeology with exhibitions, digs, tours, a cultural program, camps and digital stations. This year, you can see the exhibition “Autour de l’os,” which addresses the subject of archeozoology. Discover the relationship Indigenous Peoples had with the animal world by examining remains found at the Pointe-du-Buisson site.
