Welcome to the virtual visit of the “In Her Footstep” exhibit, presented from 2004 to 2017 at the Maison de Mère d’Youville in Old Montreal. It relates the history of the Charron Brothers’ General Hospital, of Marguerite d’Youville and of the Grey Nuns of Montreal. The Maison de Mère d’Youville is currently undergoing major renovations, inside and out, which will result, among other things, in a new permanent exhibit. For more details follow us on Navigating the virtual exhibition is simple! Moving your cursor or using the arrows in the tool bar at the bottom of the screen permits you to rotate 360 degrees in each room. Click on the floating stars to guide you along to the next portion of your visit. Each star represents a different view point. Each of those view points will allow you to click on different objects. Placing your cursor on these objects will highlight them: click once and a detailled vignette will open. Click again to close the vignette. You can also use the menu in the upper right corner of your screen to go back or explore another part of the visit.
