Well worth a visit
A great visit. We started with cold drinks in the lovely cafe area. We then visited the exhibition about early Quebec. It was fascinating and well organised. The video stations were really informative. The toilets were fine. There was a water station so we could refill our water bottles. We only saw one exhibit as we were tight for time, however even the one exhibit was worth the visit and the cost

Perfect Half-Day Activity!
Size of the museum and content (# of exhibits) are perfect for a half day visit. While I spent my entire visit on the First Nations exhibit, I wished I had stayed longer to visit the Water exhibit - seemed unique for a museum to display the technical aspect of how the water is treated. I only saw the glimpse from the hallway so I'm guessing this. As other reviewers noted, the cafe is really quaint and worth relaxing in it for a quick bite or a beverage. Menu choices are better than what most museums offer while there was generous spacing of the bistro tables which I appreciated. What caps off a pleasant visit to the museum was the extraordinary helpfulness of the Information Desk representative who helped us navigate where we needed to go in Old QC. There was snow showers. Roads were very slippery and slushy. The weather wasn't friendly to a tourist from afar but his warmth and empathy made a difference.
