"If you happen to be of French descent, this museum will be of special interest—the interactive displays will help you trace your family heritage. But it's worth a visit even if you don't have French ancestors. Exhibits trace the history of Québec's francophone community, including their migrations to New England, the Canadian Prairies and beyond. You'll also learn about lost episodes in the history of New France, like the settlement of Cap Rouge, which existed for only two years (1541 to 1543) and was recently rediscovered. And see if you can peek inside the deconsecrated chapel within the museum. This lavishly restored space is mostly rented out for private events, but you can ask the guards to let you take a quick look."

Great museum and exhibits exploring an interesting topic not seen in many other places in such detail. Staff were polite and helpful. The space is great and well set up. Entry fee was reasonable and enjoyed free coat check as we went in winter. Hidden gem!

I've been there for 2 events and the place couldn't look more different. You can really customize the room to your needs. Lovely architecture and place to visit. A must to rent for your event.

Interesting enough multimedia presentation of the French presence throughout N America with a few facts unknown to me. Precious little in terms of period artefacts. Maybe of interest to the kids. The chapel is not very interesting, either.

It's a nice place if you want to learn about the importance of French cultures in North America. There are nice expositions and interesting objects from the French expeditions in Canada and USA.

Situated in the haute ville in front of Hôtel de ville, this museum is related to Musée de la civilisation and it develops some expositions related to French culture in North America. It is recommended to start on the upper floor and then go down to lower floors. I have done just the upper floor in an hour, but I took my time to see and listen to many video and audio materials that document and illustrate the expositions. Good to see clearly that French native speakers in Canada are not only Quebecois, but they are to find in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Ontario... In summary, nice museum, interesting expositions and every 1st Sunday of month free entrance for residents (temporal, permanent, citizens) of Canada.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at the museum. The audio visual displays were breath taking. I learned a lot about french speaking people in American.

I was here for a piano performance and it was incredible. The design of the cathedral, the ambiance, the acoustic. Just overall awesome.

Stunning location in the heart of Quebec City. It's a deconsecrated church. Was here for a conference, and other than the intense heat, the venue was beautiful.
