Québec - Musée de la Civilization 
|
|
Built to designs by the well-known architect Moshe Safdie the new Musée de la Civilisation is of great architectural interest in its own right. In addition to its permanent collection the museum mounts a variety of temporary exhibitions on different aspects of human civilization. Among its prize exhibits are what is thought to be the earliest barque built in America (in Québec soon after 1608), vaulting from the Maison Pagé-Quercy, remains of the old town wharf and items of modern sculpture.
