Where Worlds Meet

The Gaspé Peninsula is often referred to as “the end of the land”. But the Gaspé Peninsula has long been connected to the outside world. The sea is what links all these separate parts, all these small and large “land’s ends”. Where Worlds Meet, let the Gaspesie carry you away.

Permanent exhibition - June to October
The Deep Blue Sea
The deep blue sea is the history of the Gaspé told through fifteen sailing vessels, from the drakkars of the Vikings to the seafaring canoes of the Mi’gmaq to Gaspésiennes. It is also the life journey of people of the sea: cod fishers, whalers and captains.
EXPOSITION TEMPORAIRE
Religieuses, enseignantes et… scientifiques!

Venez découvrir l’exposition Religieuses, enseignantes et… scientifiques, coproduite par le Site historique Marguerite-Bourgeoys et le Musée des Ursulines de Trois-Rivières. Cette exposition met en lumière le rôle essentiel des communautés religieuses dans l'enseignement scientifique aux filles canadiennes dès les années 1830.

EXPOSITION TEMPORAIRE
Je vous regarde disparaître

Venez découvrir l’exposition temporaire Je vous regarde disparaître de l’artiste gaspésienne Véronique Bouchard. Ce projet est une réponse sensible à l’œuvre La route de mes souvenirs, récit autobiographique de Charles Bouchard, racontant la vie dans le portage de L’Anse-au-Griffon vers 1930. Animée par le désir d’honorer cet homme disparu et son souhait de transmission – « Pour qu’ils se souviennent, je veux qu’ils sachent » –, l’artiste a entrepris de mettre en images son récit de vie.

Permanent exhibition - June to October

Living Portraits
No, you’re not dreaming. The person inside the picture frame is actually moving… and talking to you… and even shifting from one picture frame to the next. It’s just like in Harry Potter! Jacques Cartier, Charles Robin, John Le Boutillier, Marguerite Bujold and Pierre Nadon: they’ve all gotten together to tell you their stories, with a touch of humour, as part of a unique, astonishing and enriching visit.
