The captivating story of the American invasion of Québec City
Blending art and history, the exhibition transports you into the captivating story of the American attempt to invade Quebec City in the winter of 1775. Little-known chapter of history, it was one of the first major military operations of the War of Independence.
Supported by digital media and music, six works of art illustrate the highlights of this siege, which took place in harsh winter conditions.
The exhibition focuses on the people who lived through the conflict. A woman nicknamed Baboche, who acted as an informant for the British, recounts the events.
Relive the torments, dilemmas and exploits of ordinary people plunged into an out-of-the-ordinary situation!
