Stewart museum, History museum in Montreal, Canada
Description
The Stewart Museum was a history museum in Montreal that focused on the daily life and practices of early settlers in Quebec, with extensive collections of historical items and documents. It displayed personal objects, tools, and written records that showed what life was like during the colonial period.
History
The museum was founded in 1955 and kept its physical location until 2021. Following a merger with the McCord Museum in 2013, its collections were integrated and the building was eventually closed.
Culture
The museum displays objects and documents that show the meetings between Indigenous peoples and European settlers during the colonization of New France. These collections reflect the complicated relationships that shaped early contact in the region.
Practical
The physical museum has been closed since 2021, but its collections are now accessible online. Visitors can explore the items and information through digital platforms and virtual exhibitions that are shared with the McCord Museum.
Did you know?
The collections were digitized and made available through a new online platform starting in fall 2021. This shift allowed the museum to continue its educational mission even though its physical location no longer exists.
