Musée des Plaines d'Abraham

This museum spread over three levels presents a fine multimedia history show entitled Battles: 1759–60. Incorporating maps, scale models, interactive games, period uniforms and audiovisual presentations, the exhibit immerses visitors in the pivotal 18th-century conflict that shaped Québec's destiny during the Seven Years' War between France and England. New in 2022, the Aeria exhibition features dreamlike sculptures by the Québecois artist Jérôme Trudelle, and you can learn about the historical characters depicted through the interactive tablet provided.

Between July and early September, museum visitors can pay a small extra fee to visit the nearby Martello Tower 1 and take the guided 45-minute Abraham's Bus Tour.
