Downtown Montreal is getting a new public exhibition dedicated to the French language, paid for by the Government of Quebec. Simon Jolin-Barrette, newly minted Minister of the French Language, announced a $950,000 grant for Montreal's museum of archaeology, Pointe-à-Callière, to develop the exhibition, which will be on display in the Espace culturel Georges-Émile-Lapalme at Place des Arts.

Montreal's museum of archaeology wants you to dig into history on its dime next week. Pointe-à-Callière is opening its doors to the public at no charge on May 17 to celebrate its 30th anniversary. That means free admission to both the permanent and temporary exhibitions, including VIKINGS: Dragons of the Northern Seas. The museum will even have a few surprises in store both on-site and online.
