Explore the house at your own pace
Take your time or discover the past at lightning speed: the only right way is your own way! The permanent and temporary exhibitions are open at all times for self-guided tours, depending on opening hours.
Family tour
A different way of experiencing the tour, with something for every member of the family!
- At the outset, each member of the family chooses one of four characters from the past to embody for the tour.
- Each member of the family then sets off to discover the exhibition, trying to meet the challenge of finding the parts that relate to his or her character.
- At the end of the visit, it's time for the “family get-together” to compare points of view according to the different characters. One visit, one exhibition, multiple facets! A fun activity for ages 6 to 100!
- If you feel like it, before you leave, take a photo to add your family portrait to our table of participating families!
Approximate duration: 30 minutes
The permanent and temporary exhibitions are open to all, during the opening hours of the Maison André-Benjamin-Papineau. The tours are independent. You can visit them in any order, at any time, without missing a single nugget of history.
It's up to you to choose your discoveries and your pace!
We kindly ask you to be respectful of the equipment at your disposal in the house, other visitors and our staff.
