30 years of passion for naval history
A brief history of the Naval Museum of Quebec
The Naval Museum of Québec opened its doors to the public on May 20, 1995. Housed in a building that was used during the major event “Mer et Monde: Québec 1984,” it is one of the results of the Présence navale au Québec project, a National Defence program aimed at increasing the number of Francophones in the Navy. Today, the Museum is part of the Pointe-à-Carcy Naval Complex, an active military base in the heart of the Old Port of Québec. Completely free, the Museum gives the site a public character and, for 30 years, has offered everyone a unique place to learn more about naval history.
Over time, the Naval Museum has developed numerous exhibition projects, several of which have received prestigious awards. In 2003, the Impacts exhibition, developed in collaboration with the Musée de la Gaspésie, presented all aspects of the Battle of the St. Lawrence (1942-1944) and won the Canadian Museums Association (CMA) Award of Excellence. In 2007, the Naval Museum won the Télé-Québec Prize from the Société des Musées du Québec (SMQ) for its virtual exhibition Pirates or Privateers?
2008 was a big year for the Naval Museum. Travelling exhibitions were deployed at Pointe-à-Carcy, the Citadelle of Québec, the Musée des Voltigeurs (Québec City Armoury) and the Musée du Régiment de la Chaudière to mark the 400th anniversary of Québec City. In 2016, the Jeffy Jan II, one of the last historical witnesses of the Québec Conferences (1943 and 1944), was acquired by the museum before being fully restored. It now sits in the Parc de la Marine marchande in the Old Port of Québec. More recently, in 2023, the Naval Museum celebrated in style the 100th anniversary of the Naval Reserve of Canada, of which it is the official museum, by unveiling a huge historical and artistic fresco telling the entire history of the Naval Reserve, like a large comic strip.
For 30 years now, the Naval Museum of Quebec has been energetically involved in the community to showcase our local and national naval history. Acquiring and telling the story of the Naval Reserve’s heritage, surprising and captivating visitors with unusual facts, rethinking Quebec museology and entertaining families with dynamic and educational activities: this is the vocation of the Naval Museum of Québec, from yesterday to today.
