Story

Institution muséale régionale, le Musée de la Gaspésie est l'endroit par excellence où (re)découvrir l'histoire de notre fabuleuse péninsule.

L'exposition permanente « Gaspésie... le grand voyage! » ainsi que les nombreuses expositions temporaires qu'on y présente reposent sur l'histoire, l'art, le patrimoine et la culture des gaspésiens.

Le Musée abrite le Centre d'archives de la Gaspésie ouvert à tous où l'on peut consulter et utiliser les fonds régionaux d'archives entre autres pour la recherche généalogique. Vous pourrez aussi dénicher dans la Boutique La Muse des produits des métiers d'arts uniques 100% gaspésien.

De plus, l'institution muséale édite le Magazine Gaspésie, doyen des magazines d'histoire au Québec, qui saura vous charmer par la qualité de son contenu et la variété des thématiques abordées. Venez à la rencontre de la fabuleuse Gaspésie, « embarquez » dans l'histoire...

Great little museum! We went on a rainy day and it was a bit busy but there was no wait. The museum has a nice layout and is very informative.
Talked a lot about Indigenous nation, very interesting & sad history at the same time. They have interactive videos as well.
Friendly staff, bilingual, excellent exhibits, 4 stars because the ship is closed off due to a fire.
A great museum to learn the history of the Gaspesie region. They've the last surviving Gaspesienne class boat on display outside including damage from an unfortunate fire and multiple exhibitions inside.nnThese cover the history of the region starting from the Mig'maq First Nations and their encounters with the Europeans incl. Jacques Cartier to successive waves of French and English colonization culminating in the modern state of the peninsula. In addition to the expected displays on the centrepieces of local history e.g. the cod industry, its associated techniques / vessels and its global impact, they also had displays on lesser known topics such as a local ghost ship legend and contingency plans for the Royal Navy to retreat to Gaspe in case the Germans took the British Isles in WW2.nnThey also have a souvenir shop featuring books incl. a few titles in English, candles, glassware, clothing and woodwork by locals.nnWould definitely recommend a visit for everyone interested in history. Take the time to go through and read all the displays. Make sure to double check the hours as they vary by season.
There was a lot of amazing Canadian history to be found here! Lots of early Quebecois knowledge, and history. Mentions of First Nations, French, English, and Vikings which is fascinating. VR video experience of early fishing, as well as many other ways to second hand experience the fishing industry of early Canada.
