Past Exhibitions

February 8 to May 5, 2013
The Richelieu River, a historically important waterway linking Quebec to New York, and a route over which various armies and fleets passed during the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812, has relinquished many of its historical artifacts and treasures to two divers who have loaned these items to the Dorval Museum. Come discover what the river has revealed: military badges and buttons, coins from various eras and countries, personal items such as shoe buckles, clay pipes, lead dice and gaming pieces, among other artifacts dating from the 1750s to the mid-1800s.

The Dorval Museum of Local History and Heritage presents its annual Christmas exhibition Christmas Sparkles! where this year we invite you to discover a retro Christmas of the 1960s featuring aluminum Christmas trees!  Like the boomerang, the Formica kitchen table top and the TV dinner, these shiny Christmas trees are sure to conjure up warm, nostalgic memories of the 60s, or will simply fascinate you by their space-age qualities or campy appearance.  Regardless of the reason, the aluminum Christmas tree has managed to endure changing tastes and times.
The exhibit opens Sunday November 25th at 1 p.m. 
The children’s Cantamos Choir from Gentilly School will sing Christmas carols and other festive songs, beginning at 1:30 p.m. All are warmly welcome to attend and help make the season bright.

Discover the evolution of olfactory art throughout the ages and the five great perfumers who significantly shaped the world of perfume. Inspired by the times, the milestones of modern perfumery each tell a story of their era.  
All are invited to the exhibit opening on Thursday, September 6 at 19:00.  

Workshops on perfume, Sunday, September 30th and October 28th. In English at 14:00 and in French at 15:00. To register please call 514-633-4170. Space is limited.

For more information, please call 514 633-4170. 

The Mayor and Council Over the Years
June 14 until August 26, 2012



From its humble beginnings as a pumping station, the venerable building which now houses Dorval’s City Hall has been witness to many years
