Through its school program, Pointe-à-Callière takes preschool, elementary and secondary students on an underground archaeological tour, to the very birthplace of Montréal. Step by step, they retrace their city’s past, with the help of models, astonishing projections and virtual historic characters.
The Museum also offers a variety of exciting activities and fascinating workshops, led by professional interpreter-guides, to give students hands-on contact with archaeology and history.
