Musee Romeo's

Every week, thousands of people take the industrial staircase at the 5445 and 5455 de Gaspé, in the Mile End. They spend in total tens of thousands of minutes in transition between a space and another, moving between white walls with changing numbers. We want to build bridges in unusual spaces and gather the community around what makes us think and dream. It's time for urban art to take its place in the heart of the buildings, at a human scale. After Barcelone, Amsterdam, Berlin and St-Petersburg, Montreal have its own street art museum. In total, 24 murals created by 24 montreal artists made an unusual space shine...the industrial stairwell!

Musee des beaux-arts de Montreal

The MMFA is one of Canada’s most visited museums and the eighth-most visited museum in North America, boasting more than 1.3 million visitors. The MMFA's original temporary exhibitions combine various artistic disciplines – fine arts, music, film, fashion and design – and are exported around the world. Its rich encyclopedic collection, distributed among five pavilions, includes international art, world cultures, decorative arts and design, and Quebec and Canadian art. The Museum has seen exceptional growth in recent years with the addition of two new pavilions: the Claire and Marc Bourgie Pavilion, in 2011, and the Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion for Peace, in 2016. The MMFA complex includes Bourgie Hall, a 460-seat concert hall. The Museum also houses the Michel de la Chenelière International Atelier for Education and Art Therapy, the largest educational complex in a North American art museum, enabling the MMFA to offer innovative educational, wellness and art therapy programmes

Located in a historic section of Rue Sherbrooke known as the Golden Square Mile, the Musée des Beaux-Arts Montreal, or Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, is the city's largest and one of the most widely regarded in Canada, if not all of North America. Adjacent to the building is the Avenue du Musée, a public street that is sometimes the site of large-scale art installations. The campus is composed of a number of pavilions, each one dedicated to specific disciplines, i.e., ancient art; archaeology; decorative arts and design; modern and contemporary art; and Quebec and Canadian art.

In our recent trip to Quebec City, we had the pleasure of spending an afternoon at this great museum. We could have spent more time (for art lovers, you can easily spend 4 hours with a nice lunch in between). We were lucky that Manif D’Art 9 (La Biennale de Québec) was going on, taking over a big part of the Pavillon Pierr Lassonde, and we thoroughly explored that amazing collective show. The contemporary art and First Nation art sections of the permanent collection are very interesting and engaging. The pavilions with modern art and ancient art collections are also wonderful, and we hope to spend more time in those during our next trip. Top-notch museum. It was the best of the attractions during our visit.

Chateau Dufresne (Dufresne House)

Reviewed By ACCChas - Charleston, United States

This is really a hidden gem if you like house museums. The duplex is well restored on the inside and they are currently working on the outside. It is close to a metro stop and very reasonably priced. The self guided audio tour is easy to manipulate and the tour takes about 1 hour to complete.

Albert Gilles Copper Art & Museum

Reviewed By 988yuvalk

We decided to take a one-day bus excursion. This beautiful atelier, museum and art shop was truly a delight. The family business, generations in the making, provided an introductory talk about the history of the atelier, and then explanations about some of the beautiful copper works of art in the museum. Now run by three generations of talented women, we found a true point of interest during our visit to Quebec.
