A really interesting look into medical history! It's interesting to see how much religion and medicine mingled in the past, especially in the hospital here.

(Translated) Beautiful little museum on the history of the Hospitalières de Saint-Joseph, contemporary museum with well-appointed spaces. I liked my experience! Small flat; parking is poorly indicated and they only accept cash for admission ... (Original) Très beau petit musée sur l’histoire des Hospitalières de Saint-Joseph, musée contemporain aux espaces bien aménagés. J’ai aimé mon expérience! Petit bémol; le stationnement est mal indiqué et ils n’acceptent que l’argent comptant pour l’admission...

(Translated) A magnificent secret garden sheltered from prying eyes. The maintenance of this historic site is magnificent. Apple trees, coastal pear trees a magnificent small chapel built of large stone decorating magnificent stained glass windows and a small statue including that of the Holy Virgin which overlooks the hotel. The serenity of the place inspires respect for these pioneers who are the hospitable sisters. (Original) Un magnifique jardin secret a l'abri des yeux indiscrets. L'entretien de ce lieu historique est magnifique. Pommiers, poiriers côtois une magnifique petite chapelle construite de grosse pierre décorer de magnifiques vitraux et de petite statue dont celle de la sainte Vierge qui surplombe l'hôtel. La sérénité des lieux inspire le respect pour ces pionnières que sont les sœurs hospitalières.

For $10 for adults, this is a great little museum filled with history of the Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal, artifacts of Saint-Joseph, and explores the history of healthcare and health sciences (nuns taking care of those in need at the hospital and running the pharmacy. The first room is a bit of history between the First Nations People + Chomeday. (And Marie De La Ferre and the Hospitallers of Saint Joseph, hospital care). Paintings, carvings, needlepoint, textiles, metal (gold, silver, etc church artifacts) + other relics (personal letters, furniture, dolls, headdress and even a "cell" where the sisters would sleep has been set up here) with plaques in French/English help guide you through the history. The second floor is dedicated more to the history of surgery, surgical tools, those that performed the surgeries and the buildings. Example, William H. Hingston, a pioneer in plastic-surgery, was among the first to do skin grafting and one of the first to use the microscope. Also upstairs, there is a room that talks about the transformation between a French speaking city and then a swing to a more British/English society (due to an epidemic and sharp increase if English births). As you swing to the right it talks in length about the different types of church architecture and who was behind building them Fascinating part of this bit of Montreal history. If you live here, have more than a few days or have even the slightest bit of interest in these subjects well worth 2 hours of your time and again the $10 admission.
