Monastère des Augustines Museum

The Monastère des Augustines' museum, located in the heart of Old Quebec, invites you to discover an exceptional heritage. It offers a permanent exhibition "Augustinian Sisters: Healing Body and Soul" which traces the evolution of the spiritual and social engagement of the Augustinian Sisters of Quebec through the ages. Discover the community’s way of life, their work caring for the sick, and how they balanced their traditional vocations for action and contemplation. Throughout the rooms, you will find selected objects from the 40,000 artifacts drawn from the Augustinian Sisters’ 12 monastery hospitals. They form a powerful composite picture that brings the exhibition’s themes to life and that offers a provocative commentary on society’s past, present and future. Steeped in nearly 400 years of history, the entire site at the Monastère des Augustines contributes to your museum experience.
