A story told through stunning works of art

Combining art and history, the exhibition transports you into the captivating story of the American invasion of Québec City in 1775. Six works of art illustrate the highlights of this siege, which took place in harsh winter conditions.

The works are supported by digital media and music created for the exhibition. A woman nicknamed Baboche, who acted as an informant for the British, recounts the events.

The exhibition focuses on the people who lived through the conflict. You will relive the torments, dilemmas and exploits of ordinary people plunged into an out-of-the-ordinary situation!
