The museum is comprised of three elements: a new building called the "Eperon", a crypt, and the former Customs House. The "Eperon" constitutes the focal point of the project. A work of masonry, it fills the triangular form of the site and respects the massing of the former Royal Insurance Building, the last occupant of this historic place. By recreating its morphology, the construction tightens the perspective of Place d'Youville and re-establishes the continuity of the urban façade of de la Commune Street towards the St. Lawrence River.
