Interesting exhibition of and old house and the way of living in the 18th century. The exhibition is well presented.
We went to visit the Maison Chevalier but it was closed! They were only opened from June 24th to September 5th... What a pity. We admired the outside, and went back to the Place Royale and the Quartier du Petit Champlain.
An interesting historical museum and free! Next to Place Royal so easy to visit after wandering round looking at the outsides of the buildings. Able to view an interior.

The first floor of this old house-turned-hotel is underwhelming, but the second floor has several rooms showing Quebec house interiors throughout the centuries, and it's very cool. Plus, it's free and quick to visit.
Had an hour to kill waiting for my bus tour of Quebec to resume and it started raining. Decided to dodge the rain in this quaint FREE museum. Thank goodness it was free. Will echo other reviewers....not much to see here...some pretty neat artifacts on...More
