Pointe-à-Callière
This is the rare museum where the building is the artifact. It's constructed over the exact site where Montreal was founded in 1642, and you descend to walk the real excavated foundations and the old sewer collector. The subterranean architecture is the show.
The archaeology museum built directly over Montreal's birthplace — you walk the actual founding-era ruins beneath the streets.
