Did you know that Mount Royal Park was designed to improve the health of Montrealers? Discover the vision of its designer, Frederick Law Olmsted, as well as the Monastery Garden of the Hospitalières, a jewel that is a part of the Mount Royal Heritage Site.

During this conference and discussion, moderated by Paul Labonne, curator of the Medicine and Charity exhibition and director of the Museum, historians Claire Garnier and Dominique Deslandres will examine the legacy and adaptations of the medieval Hôtel-Dieu model, which served as the basis for the first hospitals in New France.

From 7 to 8:30pm

Discover what lies behind the iconic stone walls of Plateau-Mont-Royal, as well as the history of the Jardin des Hospitalières. From its origins as an agricultural land in 1861 to its current status as an ornamental garden, and including the history of the Hôtel-Dieu’s heritage buildings, this site is full of wonders.

Follow in the footsteps of the Pharmacist Nun and her medicinal herb garden, thanks to the museum’s magnificent collection of pharmaceutical artifacts. This exploration will then take you to the medicinal garden of the Herboressence collective, where members will introduce you to the therapeutic uses of plants during a hands-on workshop.

On the last Saturday of every month, the museum pays special attention to families! Take advantage of our self-guided or guided activities to explore the museum in a whole new way.
