Secular guides interpreted the numerous objects arranged behind gates in the school\u2019s great parlor. The museum displayed worship, household and educational objects, First Nations objects and, of course, the famous Montcalm skull. <\/span>\r\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613574974069{padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;12&#8243; gap=&#8221;10&#8243; item=&#8221;7243&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1614368828877-735ccc25-e1eb-3&#8243; include=&#8221;9876,9859&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b>The Museum-Archives (1946)<\/b>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1946, the museum had been made permanent and was merged with the archives, located in a two-story concrete annex built in the Saint Augustine wing. The manager, Sister Agn\u00e8s Barnard (1886\u20131964), held the dual title of archivist-curator. Objects as well as archival documents were exhibited. Access was by reservation or invitation only. <\/span>\r\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613575089962{padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;12&#8243; gap=&#8221;10&#8243; item=&#8221;7243&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1614368828878-f5a8c916-ace3-2&#8243; include=&#8221;9865&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b>The Marie of the Incarnation Center (1964)<\/b>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After giving the matter careful consideration, the nuns opened the Marie of the Incarnation Center in 1964. The center, located at 12, rue Donnacona, became the new site for sharing the community\u2019s history. A huge success, it continued to grow until 1979, when it was divided into two separate entities: the Marie of the Incarnation Center and the Ursuline Museum in Quebec City. <\/span>\r\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613575118675{padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;12&#8243; gap=&#8221;10&#8243; item=&#8221;7243&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1614368828880-f5fc2f84-7875-4&#8243; include=&#8221;9861&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b>The Ursuline Museum in Quebec City (1979\u20132016)<\/b>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1979, since it contained valuable collections and there was a need to properly conserve and spotlight the community\u2019s exceptional heritage, the museum became the province\u2019s first religious-community museum to be accredited and subsidized by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs (known today as the Ministry of Culture and Communications). Under the direction of Sister Gabrielle Dagnault (1912\u20132010), Ph.D. in art history, the museum moved away from its pastoral functions and shifted toward showcasing the cultural and social aspects of the Ursulines\u2019 heritage.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1993, the nuns named layperson Christine Cheyrou to the post of museum director. Cheyrou held this position until 2016. Various exhibition projects were developed during her tenure. The museum became increasingly professional and its reputation, as well as its collections, grew.<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613575150132{padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;12&#8243; gap=&#8221;10&#8243; item=&#8221;7243&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1614368828882-a17d9aa8-e62e-6&#8243; include=&#8221;9863&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b>The P\u00f4le culturel du Monast\u00e8re des Ursulines (2017\u2013\u2026)<\/b>\r\nSince 2017, the museum has been under the management of the P\u00f4le culturel du Monast\u00e8re des Ursulines, an organization created by the Ursulines to manage their archives, their collections and the museum.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">A vibrant and community-minded museum institution, the P\u00f4le culturel promotes the Ursulines\u2019 priceless heritage in innovative ways through high-quality exhibitions and a wide variety of activities that serve its various publics.\r\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613575176214{padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1614287831791{padding-bottom: 30vh !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/historique-banner-2-scaled.jpg?id=10530) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613575629125{padding-top: 2px !important;padding-bottom: 2px !important;background-color: #167272 !important;}&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1613658352391{margin-bottom: 10vh !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 10vh !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1614008763026{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 10vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;History of the Museum&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23167272&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1614008004208{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 13px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]The Monastery Museum [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":9469,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9854","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9854"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9854\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.polecultureldesursulines.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
