Québec 1775: Blizzards and Battle

Starting June 7, 2024, the Plains of Abraham Museum will present its new temporary exhibition Québec 1775: Blizzards and battle.

The exhibition will transport you into the captivating story of the American invasion of Québec City, which took place in the harsh winter conditions of 1775. A little-known chapter in history, it was one of the first major military operations of the American War of Independence.

Combining art and history, the exhibition focuses on the people who lived through the conflict between the American rebels and the British who then ruled the Province of Quebec, as well as the weather conditions in which the operation took place.

Through the works of six artists, supported by digital media, you will relive the torments, dilemmas and exploits of ordinary people plunged into an out-of-the-ordinary situation.
