Accessibility

Thanks to the interpretive panels and artifacts on display, visitors can explore the various themes proposed on the building’s two floors at their own pace (note that there is no elevator).

The museum offers a virtual tour of the exhibition on the 2nd floor for people with reduced mobility, with a kiosk accessible from the museum. There is no charge to use this terminal. The second floor of the museum is accessible and partially complies with Kéroul standards.

Parking

Free parking for cars and buses at the Aylmer Marina, just behind the Museum. Please make sure you park in the permitted zone and respect parking restrictions.

Public Transportation

The Museum is located near a STO bus stop, lines No. 41 and 800.
