Montréal Capital City is an exhibition at Pointe-à-Callière, the museum of archaeology and history in Montreal, Canada. It looks at the city's role as a capital, and it is presented as reaching beyond the museum walls, an idea captured in its tagline, "Beyond the Museum."
What kind of visit it makes
This is an exhibition rather than a standalone attraction, so it suits visitors who already plan to spend time at Pointe-à-Callière or who are interested in how a city understands its own past and public life. Because the exhibition is framed as extending outside the building, it may also appeal to those who like to explore the city on foot as part of the experience.

The city around it
