A Devotion and a Treasure

Discover the history of our ancestors through the works of art that bear witness to their devotion to Good Saint Anne.

At the Museum, you will find the most valuable "treasures" of our various collections. For example, the largest collection of ex-votos in North America is on display, which includes the following paintings: The Three Shipwrecked Sailors of Levis, the Ex-Voto of the Marquis de Tracy, and the Ex-Voto of Mr. Roger. The Museum also houses several works of the renowned sculptor Louis Jobin. Through a plethora of photos, paintings, and statues, discover the history of the church built in 1676, of the first Basilica, as well as the present-day Basilica, not to mention the history of devotion to Saint Anne in general.
