Temporary exhibition
Héritage Montréal, Preserving Heritage for 50 Years
from Jul 1, 2025 to Nov 2, 2025
Château Ramezay, Historic site and museum of Montreal
Initiatives to preserve Montréal's heritage date back to the 19th century with a string of successes, such as the protection of Mount Royal and the Château Ramezay, saved in 1890. Demolitions in the 1970s prompted citizens to join forces and create Save Montréal. In 1975, Héritage Montréal, under the presidency of architect Phyllis Lambert, was founded to encourage and promote the protection of the historical, architectural, natural, and cultural heritage of communities in Quebec, a mission that is still relevant today.
