Musée des métiers d'art du Québec, Traditional crafts museum in Montreal, Canada

The Musée des métiers d'art du Québec occupies the former St. Paul Presbyterian church, a High Victorian Gothic brick building from 1867, moved stone by stone from downtown Montreal to Saint-Laurent in 1930–1931 and rebuilt on a concrete structure. Its façade carries bas-reliefs added when it became a Catholic chapel; inside, the exposed wooden roof frame and the Émile-Legault hall below remain.

The museum was founded to preserve Quebec's craft heritage as industrial methods began to replace traditional practices. It documents the contributions of thousands of craftspeople whose names and work might otherwise have been lost.

The objects on display show how families in this region passed down handcrafted skills from generation to generation. Visitors can see everyday items and understand the knowledge required to make them by hand.

The museum occupies the former St. Paul Presbyterian church inside the Émile-Legault pavilion of Cégep de Saint-Laurent, at 615 avenue Sainte-Croix in the Saint-Laurent borough. Look for the polychrome brickwork of the High Victorian Gothic facade and the bas-reliefs added when it became a Catholic chapel. The building was raised on a concrete structure in 1931 to fit the Émile-Legault hall beneath it, which created two separate entrances.

The building has had three lives: a Presbyterian church built in 1867 at Dorchester and Sainte-Monique, moved stone by stone in 1930 after CN expropriated the land for Central Station, then a Catholic chapel for the Collège de Saint-Laurent. Architect Lucien Parent numbered and colour-coded each stone; the building was raised on a concrete structure in 1931 to fit the Émile-Legault hall beneath it.
