Inside Saint-Henri’s RCA Victor factory, the Emile Berliner Musée des Ondes is a unique museum that preserves and explores the evolution of sound technology, housing an extensive collection of audio artifacts, from vintage gramophones and turntables to early radios and recording equipment. Named for Emile Berliner, the inventor who shaped audio’s past, the museum delves into Montreal’s rich history in the audio industry and its cultural impact.

In 2018, the museum opened its extensive sound and image archive to the public, making vinyl lovers and tech aficionados flock to spin rare records and uncover forgotten sounds. Guided tours and specialist-led talks add depth to the experience, while future plans to expand exhibit space and integrate Studio VICTOR promise even more to explore. This museum is a sanctuary for sound’s legacy, offering a rare auditory journey through history.
