May 26, 2023 from 5:30pm EDT to 7:30pm EDT

Le Monastère des Augustines is a haven of heritage, culture and wellness. It is located in the historic wings of the Hôtel-Dieu de Québec monastery, from which emerged the first hospital on the continent north of Mexico.

At the Monastère des Augustines, the museological experience merges with the place, rich of nearly four centuries of history.

Permanent Exhibition: Augustinian Sisters: Healing Body and Soul

Tracing the evolution of the spiritual and social engagement of the Augustinian Sisters of Quebec through the ages, the permanent exhibition offers a unique glimpse into the past. Discover the community’s way of life, their work caring for the sick, and how they balanced their traditional vocations for action and contemplation.

Throughout the rooms, you will find selected objects from the 50,000 artifacts drawn from the Augustinian Sisters’ 12 monastery hospitals. They form a powerful composite picture that brings the exhibition’s themes to life and that offers a provocative commentary on society’s past, present and future.

Hors d'oeuvres and a beverage is included with your tickets.
