Temporary exhibition

Alley-oop – An Interactive Adventure

from Jun 20, 2025 to Jan 11, 2026
Pointe-à-callière, Montreal archaeology and history complex

Let’s play!

The exhibition space becomes a playground that reacts to your movements: move, jump, and test your speed and agility. Try your hand at fun challenges—on your own or in a team—at five stations in colourful settings that change with the seasons.

The Fascinating History of Montréal’s Alleyways

Much more than mere pathways, alleys are living witnesses to the history and evolution of the city of Montréal. At each stage of the exhibition, you’ll delve into part of the rich heritage of the city’s alleyways. Archival photos, iconic objects, and period toys will arouse your curiosity and nostalgia, immersing you in the history of our laneways. There are also interactive zones where you can explore the flora and fauna that can notably be found in green alleys, as well as the cultural and artistic wealth that has developed in laneways in recent years.

The Alley-oop. An Interactive Adventure exhibition is produced by Pointe-à-Callière, Montréal’s Archaeology and History Complex, in collaboration with Exhibits Development Group and Electric Playhouse.
