Permanent
L'exposition fait découvrir l’évolution de la Congrégation des Soeurs de Sainte-Anne, de ses débuts jusqu’à aujourd’hui, grâce à de multiples photos, souvenirs des missions et objets témoins de la vie quotidienne des religieuses. On y apprend comment les Sœurs de Sainte-Anne ont contribué à faire en sorte que les moins fortunés aient accès à l’éducation et ce, où les besoins se faisaient le plus sentir, selon les époques.
L’exposition relate le parcours de la bienheureuse Marie-Anne Blondin à travers des tableaux historiques peints par des artistes communautaires. Située dans le grand couloir du couvent, le visiteur a l’occasion de s’imprégner de l’ambiance particulière d’un couvent du 19e siècle.
