Adventures of a Global Wanderer
Next up retracing the museums that were closed yesterday on Monday was the Morrin Centre. In all my past trips to Quebec City I didnt know about all these museums.
Entrance was free and you first remove your shoes to wear slippers to protect the wood floors. There was a grand historical library on the upper floor and a balcony wrapping around the the upper level of the library.
I'm surprised this was free entrance, they should be charging an admission fee. It is run by volunteers of the society.
Despite the French character of the city, it seems this was the bastion of British culture of the city. There was a grand hall, school rooms, and even a prison below which is only allowed thru guided tours.
Nearby was the Musee des Ursalines. I thought this would be the same as the Monastere des Augustines convent museum I had just visited, both having a foundation in religious orders.
Entrance was $8 but proved to be different with other types of exhibits. There was some on Church materials and nursing, similar to the Augustines Monastery museum, but there were other items too.
There was a large collection of musical instruments of various kinds, spanning several eras from harps to the gramophone.
After I went to a Moroccan restaurant for lunch. I had cus cus with spicy chicken, soup, tea, and baklava for $18 as part of their lunch set menu.
