More information on World of Maurice Richard

Maurice "The Rocket" Richard was one of the finest hockey players in the history of the game, but his legacy transcends sports. After retirement he became a powerful but reclusive figure in Quebec society; although his politics were largely unknown, he was widely adopted as a separatist icon. His body lay in state at the Bell Centre upon his death in the spring of 2000, drawing hundreds of thousands of mourners. This museum features memorabilia, photos and interactive exhibits, along with an impressive bronze statue of The Rocket outside. Admission is free.
