Permanent exhibits

These exhibitions are now closed to the public

educationMother Marie-Anne, the Story of a Fire

Situated in one of the halls of the “old convent” (1888-1889), this exhibit is made up of paintings by Sisters of Saint Anne. These works relate the tumultuous journey of Esther Blondin, the foundress of the religious order. Visiting this exhibit will also give you an opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of an authentic 19th century convent.

“The deeper a tree sinks its roots ...”

Through photos, mementos brought back from their missions and objects from the lives of the sisters, you will discover how the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Anne, founded in 1850, has changed and developed over the years. You will also learn about community life and the steps that lead to becoming a sister.

Discover the many ways that the Sisters of Saint Anne have helped to provide access to education for less-privileged populations, wherever the need is greatest.  In Quebec, as in British Columbia, Alaska, Japan, Haiti, Cameroon, Chile and the Democratic Republic of Congo, you will see that the Sisters of Saint Anne have been active all over the world.
