Centre d'histoire de Montréal / MEM – Centre des mémoires montréalaises
This is the city telling its own story, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, through the memories of ordinary Montrealers. The former Centre d'histoire relaunched as the MEM on the lower Main, and its strength is everyday social history — migration, work, daily life — rather than great-men narratives. A good orientation to the whole chronological picture, and located right on the historic Main.
Montreal's municipal history museum (now MEM), telling the city's social and neighbourhood history through residents' own memories and voices.
