Stewart Museum
Located in the heart of a natural location unique in an urban environment, the Stewart Museum celebrates the influence of European civilization in New France and North America. Ivory, faience, brocade, silver, parchment... Handcrafted by masters, these materials weave a time line where five centuries of political events, scientific experiments and cultural life unfold.
The Museum occupies the British fortified depot on Île Sainte-Hélène, a 19th century military construction. Both historic and modern, the site features a glass tower offering a remarkable view of Montreal.
Schedule
Covid-19 - Reopening of the Stewart Museum on Thursday June 25, 2020.

Located on two floors and showcasing close to 500 artefacts from the Stewart Museum's collections, the exhibition History and Memory offers visitors a chance to relive an epic journey through five centuries, retracing the origins of Quebec, from the arrival of the Europeans in America, to life in New France and the Canadian Confederation.
An interactive model showing the fortified city of Montreal plunges visitors into a journey back in time where the city's history comes alive through video clips, sounds and lights.
Nights
Majestic, enchanting, seductive, disturbing by turns—or all at once—the night takes a variety of forms. To shed some light on this fascinating subject, the Stewart Museum invites you to discover the exhibition Nights, a unique experience, oscillating between fiction and reality.
The Story Factory
The Story Factory is a new educational and participatory inspired space where kids and adults will have fun asking questions, understanding and building a story creatively.
Phantoms of the Island
The Stewart Museum is offering a brand-new collaborative game inspired by escape games involving paranormal phenomena: Phantoms of the Island. Strange events are disturbing the peace and quiet of the Museum, and the players’ mission is to restore order.
Team spirit and curiosity will be essential to solve the puzzles and challenges of this cooperative game.
Guided tour - The Fort on Île Sainte-Hélène
Built in 1824, the Fort on Île Sainte-Hélène played an important role in the protection of the British colony against the United States. It served as a storage and distribution hub for war materials, such as weapons and ammunition for the military. This outdoor guided tour of the largest military site in Montreal reveals some key facts about the functioning of the British Army in the 19th century.
Guided tour
From British Arsenal to Expo 67
The Stewart Museum is offering a walking tour of Île Sainte-Hélène. The tour follows the trails of Mont Boullé to explore the remains of British military buildings erected at the beginning of the 19th century. It ends with a visit to the top of the Biosphere for a panoramic view of the Expo 67 site.
