Maison de la littérature

The Maison de la littérature (House of Literature) is located in the historic neighbourhood of Old Québec, a site part of UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Since its opening in 2015, the Maison de la littérature has rapidly become a vibrant home to Québec literature and a popular touristic destination in Old Québec. Along with the library spaces, the Maison de la littérature’s unique and innovative program also includes a concert/lecture hall, a café, a temporary exhibition space, a permanent exhibition, a resident writer’s apartment, creation studios, a classroom as well as a multimedia studio. The Wesley Temple, a neo-Gothic heritage church, built in 1848, was closed in 1931 and was transformed in 1944 into a public library for the Institut Canadien.
