Comment from Natalie Grant
Sometimes the most fascinating view is found not by looking up at the stars or across a cityscape but straight beneath you – in this case, at layers of history stacked atop one another in Montreal‘s Pointe-à-Callière Museum. With First Nations’ artifacts, British Regime structures, and a really old sewer pipe (gross but, hey, impressive civil engineering for 1838), the place is a veritable tiered cake of cultural remnants.
