The Stewart Museum, located in the heart of a natural location unique in an urban environment, celebrates the influence of European civilization in New France and North America. Ivory, faience, brocade, silver, parchment... all these materials hand crafted by masters 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.
