For a fascinating look at the cultural and historical sides of Montréal, let us take you to the city's finest museums, ranging from historic to contemporary to fine art.
 
Canadian Centre for Architecture
The Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) is an international research centre and museum recognized for the richness of its collections and the quality of its exhibitions. The CCA has received numerous awards for the design of its building, which includes the Shaughnessy House, one of the rare 19th-century Montréal houses open to the public. Participants will be given a guided tour of the Center and a guided tour with a CCA Collection curator: presentation of select objects from the CCA Collection related to its recent exhibition 1973 : Sorry, Out of Gas. Activity followed by a tour of the current main exhibition Other Space Odysseys: Greg Lynn, Michael Maltzan, Alessandro Poli.

Pointe-à-Callière, Montreal Museum of Archaelogy and History
Pointe-à-Callière is a national historic site which sits above the actual remains of the city's birthplace. It takes visitors on an authentic archaeological tour from the 14th century, when Natives camped on the site, up to the present day. See Native artefacts, the city's first Catholic cemetery, its first marketplace, and lots more.

NOTE :
This tour is available at a cost of $105 CAD (based on availability) (includes all gratuities and taxes).
