From December 18, 2025
Resonances
Resonances. From Their Lives to Ours is an invitation to explore the legacy of the Augustinian Sisters through a self-guided experience. Blending heritage and wellness, the exhibition encourages visitors to let the history and values of the Augustinian Sisters resonate in their own lives. What if the past could help us better inhabit the present?
This exhibition coincides with the 375th anniversary of the birth of Sister Saint-Ignace, one of the first Canadian historians. Her work, marked by rigor and a deep commitment to memory, inspired the narrative approach of Resonances, which seeks to amplify the voices of the Augustinian Sisters and open a space for reflection on care and heritage.
This project was made possible in part thanks to the financial support of the Government of Québec, the Government of Canada, Destination Québec Cité, and the City of Québec.
Available until winter 2027
Re-Connect
Re-Connect is a temporary exhibit that covers the theme of relaxation and renewal. Based on a museotherapy approach, it is inspired by the contrast between action and contemplation experienced by the Augustinian Sisters. Through archives and artifacts, Re-Connect allows visitors to experience the duality that gave rhythm to the lives of the Augustinians as they constantly oscillated between caring for the sick in the hospital and contemplation in Le Monastère.
