Musée du Pôle culturel des Ursulines

Why go

The visit adds women's history and material culture to an Old Québec itinerary often dominated by military and political monuments. Exhibitions draw on centuries of teaching, archives, embroidery and devotional objects, while the chapel's carved and gilded woodwork gives the collection an architectural setting.

What to look for

• Embroidered liturgical textiles show the Ursulines' skilled workshop tradition.
• The chapel contains an important ensemble of carved and gilded wood.
• School objects and archives trace a long history of girls' education.

Useful to know

• Check seasonal museum and chapel access before visiting.
• Allow enough time to see both the exhibition and chapel rather than treating this as a façade stop.
