Located in Beauharnois, the Pointe-du-Buisson Quebec Museum of Archaeology will expose the fascinating world of archaeologists to you at a 5,000-year-old prehistoric site. Founded 25 years ago, and known in the north-eastern part of the continent for its reference collection, this museum is an exceptional grouping of 17 archaeological sites in the forest where 2 million objects have been discovered. Come discover and experience Quebec archaeology with exhibitions, digs, tours, a cultural program, camps and digital stations. This year, you can see the exhibition “Autour de l’os,” which addresses the subject of archeozoology.
