As an invitation to re-tell the course of history, the Hospitalières de l'Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal Museum, inaugurated in 1992, opens onto a magnificent oaken stairway from the XVIIth century. A stairway in which the warm reflection is extended into the oak of the floors of this museum, all of which is enveloped in a soft golden light.

Historical Museum of Tracadie
The originality of this museum, opened in 1968, comes from the fact that it is the only one in Canada to present a view of a house for lepers in the 19th century.
We can see photos, a pharmacy for this type of care, as well as objects which belonged to persons with leprosy. The museum also makes known the history of Tracadie, artifacts of the Micmacs, etc.
