The Musée POP is a treasure trove of ethnological wonders, with over 60,000 items generously donated by more than 200 contributors. This collection is a colorful snapshot of Québec's rich culture, showcasing everything from traditional occupations and agricultural tools to household items, clothing, textiles, and folk art. Each piece tells a story of daily life and the vibrant history of this unique region.
The museum shares its grounds with the Old Prison of Trois-Rivières, a gem of Québec's architectural heritage. Recognized as a historic monument since 1978, the prison stands out with its remarkable design. Visitors can get a taste of history by participating in the immersive experience GO TO JAIL! It's a fascinating way to step back in time and feel the weight of the past.
One of the highlights of visiting the Musée POP is the opportunity to explore the evolution of Québec's society through its artifacts. From the tools used by early settlers to the intricate folk art that decorates the walls, each item offers a glimpse into the lives of those who came before. The museum is a must-visit for anyone curious about the cultural fabric of this Canadian province.
