Found this while walking around Old Quebec so i stopped in. Very glad i did, fascinating tour, very knowledgeable woman giving tour. It’s the old jail and library that later became an university. So they have different rooms set up depicting the different usages for the building.

This review is only on the library. The section that house the library is small but the space is very well used. The library is cozy, comfortable and very welcoming. It’s a space that any bibliophile will love. Friendly staff, wonderful space. Check it out.
We took the English tour - very interesting for all. Even my 16 year-old enjoyed it. Recommended!
I walked in today, there was a sign saying “come in and make a reservation for your visit”. So we did, they asked my name and phone number and that’s it. They didn’t say anything else, so I thought we were making reservations to limit the quantity of people because of COVID. But when we arrived for our reservation we had to actually pay for a tour. I only wanted to see the library, I asked if we could just walk around and they said no. Ok, I paid and after around 10 minutes listening to the tour guide outside, he showed us a picture of the library and said we couldn’t go there because it’s closed. I got extremely disappointed and interrupted the tour, so he offered me a refund. I only gave 2 stars because the the staff were really friendly, because I think this is a huge fault. The tour was actually being interesting, cool information, but if you are not getting the entire tour, they should tell you from the beginning, especially when you’ll miss the most interesting part.
What a charming and delightful place to visit! My wife and I were glad that we chose to stop in and tour the Morrin Centre. Be sure to take a tour so that you can see the jail cells and classrooms. Our tour guide, Sebastian, kept things fun while informing of us of the Center’s history. A must visit if you’re in Quebec City.
Was only able to see the library as the guides tours didn't start until end of may. But it was beautiful! One of the gentlemen working there told us a bit of history of the building, the library and General Wolfe
The Victorian Library is a must visit if you're in Quebec City, absolutely beautiful to be surrounded by such history!
Take the time to come visit the Morrin Center while in Quebec City. History at it's finest.
