Opened on May 24, 1998, the
Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum is located on the shores of the
Saint Lawrence River in the historic centre of Old
Montreal. Exhibits focus on
Marguerite Bourgeoys, Montreal's first teacher and founder of the
Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, who lived during the 17th century. Displays highlight her accomplishments that recall the great courage of the early colonists who built Montreal.
