In the context of the 375th anniversary of the founding of the city, Maison Saint-Gabriel museum and historical site is proposing a new temporary exhibit that explores a seldom discussed topic. During this year of historical festivities, the museum is presenting, with 375 Years in the Heart of it All, the legacy of Montréal’s women’s religious communities. The exhibit will look at the history of Montréal’s women’s religious communities and the contributions they have made since the founding of Ville-Marie in 1642 to the present day.

The exhibition will showcase its advertising and promotional mechanisms that relied on phantasmagoric imagery from magic’s golden age and. A selection of posters, most dating from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, will retrace the social history of this still active art form. These posters, both art and advertisement, are magnificent, large format chromolithographs that immortalize the magicians and the acts that marked the world of modern magic.
