The guided tour offers participants the opportunity to discover the history of the Holocaust through in-depth explanations from our guides. The knowledge and the anecdotes they share allow participants to learn more about the objects and testimonies presented in our permanent exhibition and to humanize the victims of the Holocaust.
Try a new interactive and immersive tour experience! During the discovery tour students explore the objects in the exhibit and reflect on how they contribute to illustrating the history of the Holocaust.
In each section of the museum, a guide provides historical context before students embark on the exploration phase. Students work in small groups to observe and analyze the objects on display in order to understand how they illustrate the lived experience of Jewish communities. At the end of each section, a group discussion enables the tour guide to assess understanding and answer questions.
The self-guided tour allows participants to discover the Museum’s permanent exhibition on their own (without a guide). After a brief introduction by one of our front-desk agents, participants can explore, at their own pace, the history of Jewish communities before, during and after the Holocaust. For groups who are interested, an activity sheet provides historical context and focuses the visit on certain objects in the exhibition.

$10 per student/senior, 14$ per adult when combined with a second activity simultaneously.

Now in it’s testing phase at the Montreal Holocaust Museum, Marguerit Élias-Quddus’ interactive biography uses artificial intelligence technology to provide participants with a new way of engaging with survivor testimony.
Marguerite Elias-Quddus was filmed for five days by the USC Shoah Foundation, in collaboration with the Montreal Holocaust Museum and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. During this time, she was asked 700 questions. Her answers were then integrated into an interface developed by the USC Shoah Foundation for the public to interact with.
Accompanied by a Museum mediator, participants in the beta test can learn about Marguerite’s life story by asking the interface numerous questions and listening to the answers. As the system is in its testing phase, it is expected that some answers may not be accurate. Participants will then see how the mediator flags incorrect answers and how their questions contribute to improving the system.
