Musée de la Gaspésie

Visit the Musée de la Gaspésie to discover the history of our fabulous peninsula as you have never seen it before! Be among the first to discover our new permanent exhibition where you can see over 380 million years come to life. Enjoy this immersive experience into the history of Gaspésie as of June 2021.

Dive into our maritime history with The Deep Blue Sea, an exhibition that tells the story of the region of Gaspésie through 15 sailing vessels as well as the life journeys of various people of the sea. You can also visit the famous La Gaspésienne no. 20, an authentic cod fishing boat.

Don’t miss our temporary exhibition, Cher Léo which offers you a foray into the heart of the studio of Léonard Lapierre, a self-taught artist who draws inspiration from his immediate environment to create his works.

In the summer, the grounds of the museum are also worth a visit. See the Jacques Cartier Monument and an exact replica of the cross erected by this famous navigator in 1534.

The museum also houses a gift shop selling local products and an archives centre. It also edits Magazine Gaspésie, Québec’s oldest history magazine.
