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.

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.
