Vaccine passport requirement – Please note that as of October 25th, all visitors aged 13 and over will be required to show proof of vaccination.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Montreal Holocaust Museum, through its team, has complied with the sanitary measures required by the Quebec Public Health. Please note that our Museum is located in a building that houses various agencies and services offered to the Jewish community as well as to the general population.
If Museums are exempt from imposing the vaccination passport to their visitors, the Montreal Holocaust Museum must however follow stricter rules to respect the standards required for other agencies located on the community campus.
It is with great sadness that we must refuse entry to some visitors. However, we do so out of necessity and solidarity with the other agencies on campus.
We simply suggest that visitors who are unable to show their vaccination passport postpone their visit until public health regulations have been relaxed.
We thank you in advance for your understanding and send you our best regards.
