Musée des Ursulines de Trois-Rivières

The Musée des Ursulines occupies a former monastery and displays objects and artworks that reveal how the Sisters lived and worked in this community. The collection includes prayer books, religious objects, garments, and paintings that document their daily activities and spiritual practices.

The Ursuline Sisters founded the first school for girls and a hospital in Trois-Rivières in 1697, serving the community for over 300 years from this location. Their work became central to education and healthcare in the region during that long period.

The community here remembers the Ursuline Sisters as educators and healers who shaped local life for generations. Walking through the spaces shows how their work touched many families in the region.

The museum welcomes visitors with or without guided tours, and school groups can arrange visits in advance. A gift shop on-site sells items that reflect local traditions and crafts.

The chapel attached to the building dates from the early 1700s and contains paintings by regional artists that decorated the space with care and skill. These artworks are rarely seen elsewhere and reveal how much the community valued art and beauty.
