| The Musée de la civilisation, a public corporation, was inaugurated in 1988. It is located in the region's Capital, Québec City, in the heart of an historic district and close to Place-Royale, the site of the foundation of French America. Although resolutely contemporary, its architecture is a perfect example of integration into an historic environment.
This museum is characterized by its innovative and daring outlook. It defines itself as a seat of knowledge and ideas, a museum endowed with valuable collections, an education centre and a living memory.
The Musée de la civilisation links the past, the present and the future. While remaining strongly rooted in the Québec reality, it projects a new, attentive and dynamic outlook on the human experience in its whole, and on civilizations from the world over.
