Municipal museums: The Centre d’histoire de Montréal

Permanent exhibition
Your Montréal odyssey begins with five moments in time. Experience for yourself five eventful eras in the city's history. You will be better able to understand Montréal as it is today once you have come to know the people and events that have shaped it.

At the CHM, history comes to life, with its dark and glorious moments, its tensions, its successes. Although the 20th century is at the forefront, the earlier past is not neglected. From first contact with the Amerindians in 1535 until the cultural boom of the 1960s and 70s, “Montréal, Five Times” will treat you to a true historical urban adventure!
