It also helps you to discover and appreciate the Basilica's magnificent architecture and numerous works of art.

A new exhibit at the Saint Anne Museum celebrates the First Nations: a wealth of faith and culture. Many artifacts, some dating back to the early 19th century, give witness to their rich heritage. A must see! The Museum is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For information or reservations: 418-827-3782, ext. 2700.
