My third week in Quebec ended with me running low on funds, so I had planned on not doing anything until Monday when my mom would be able to put some more money on my debit card. When I called her, she told me that I had a hundred dollar more than I thought I did. So on Sunday, I went to the Musée des Ursulines.
I got off the bus at the Station d'Youville and stopped at a Tim Horton's for lunch on the way to the museum. Tim Horton's is a fast food chain here in Canada.
The Musée des Ursulines is part of a Ursuline convent which once ran a boarding school for girls. The Ursulines have been a fixture of Quebec's educational system since the colony's early days in the 1600s but the current convent/school dates to the nineteenth century. The first exhibit was about the embroidery which the Ursulines were famous for.

There was a piece of burlap put out so that guests could try their hands at embroidery. I embroidered my name.

The rest of the exhibits were dedicated to life at the Ursuline convent, specifically the boarding school it ran. One focused on the artistic accomplishments such as music, drawing, and painting which contained art supplies and musical instruments.
