The Boutique du Musée is the gift shop of Pointe-à-Callière, Montréal’s archaeology and history complex. It sits at 165 Place d’Youville in Old Montréal, on the site where the city was founded in 1642. Shoppers come for archaeology-themed gifts, history books and jewelry that tie back to what they just saw underground (source: [musees.qc.ca](https://www.musees.qc.ca/en/discover-museums/museums-of-quebec/pointe-a-calliere-montreal-archaeology-and-history-complex/)).
The shelves follow the museum’s themes, from First Peoples’ history through Fort Ville-Marie and the colonial era to the present day. Expect French- and English-language titles on Québec history and archaeology, jewelry inspired by artifacts, and decor pieces that work better as keepsakes than standard souvenir trinkets. The selection often expands to match the complex’s rotating international exhibitions, so visitors returning for a new show may find new merchandise. Reviewers rate the shop 4.6 and frequently mention the quality and originality of the jewelry.
