MAKE THIS A MONTREAL STOP!!!!!!
Pointe-a-Calliere, Montreal Archaeology and History Complex的点评
点评:This place had been recommended by a very frequent visitor to the city and we were so glad to take a visit there. Even though we just missed the SHERLOCK HOLMES exhibit we were blown away by the incredible celebration of the founding of Hochelaga through it's development into this bustling city....all on the original site!!!
Usually cities just dig up and bulldoze over this history but this museum overwhelmed me with their respect for those Quebecois who had gone before.
The start of your tour is in a completely immersive theatre which caters very well to only English and French as another reviewer mentioned. After that there are many chambers sous terraine filled with a progressive history of artifacts beautifully presented.
The long walkway through the ORIGINAL SEWER (cleaned up of course!!!!) is at first very disorienting but truly awesome when you realize the work which has gone into this museum.
Later rooms with glass over foundations (again a bit startling...) are massively impressive.
I wish we had the same appreciation and respect for our literal historic "roots" here in Toronto.
This is definitely a MUST SEE on a Montreal visit.
翻译:一位经常来这座城市的游客推荐了这个地方,我们很高兴能有机会去参观。虽然我们错过了福尔摩斯展览,但霍切拉加从建城到发展成为如今繁华都市的精彩展示仍然让我们叹为观止……而且所有这一切都在原址上!
通常城市会把这段历史挖走推平,但这座博物馆对魁北克先民的尊重深深打动了我。
参观从一座沉浸式剧院开始,正如另一位评论者提到的,剧院只提供英语和法语讲解。之后,参观者会进入许多地下展厅,欣赏精美陈列的文物,了解其发展历程。
穿过原有下水道(当然已经清理干净了!)的长廊一开始可能会让人感到有些迷茫,但当你意识到这座博物馆所付出的努力时,你会觉得无比震撼。
后面的展厅里,地基上方覆盖着玻璃(这同样有点吓人……),令人印象深刻。
我希望我们多伦多人也能像蒙特利尔人一样,对我们真正的历史“根源”抱有同样的欣赏和尊重。
这绝对是蒙特利尔之行必游之地。
