Free access to two exhibitions : Napoléon
(gift of the Ben Weider collection to the Montreal Museum of Fine
Arts) and Inspiria
(how Cirque du Soleil Inspired the House of Boucheron to Create a
Collection of Luxury Jewellery). The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1860 and it was the first institution of its kind in what was then British North America. Today, the museum is housed in two buildings facing each other on Sherbrooke Street. A neoclassical building erected in 1912, on the north side, and a modern expansion built in 1991, on the south side. The expansion was designed by the renowned international architect Moshe Safdie, creator of the famous Habitat '67 in Old Montreal and the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts has one of the finest encyclopedic collections in North America with over 33,000 objects and paintings.

Banquet at Marché
Bonsecours (in Old Montreal) Inaugurated in 1847, the Marché Bonsecours is acknowledged as one of Canada's ten finest heritage buildings. It briefly accommodated the Parliament of United Canada in 1849, and housed the City Hall between 1852 and 1878. Afterwards, and for more than 100 years, it became the main public market in the Montreal area. It was restored in 1964 to house city government offices. Since 1992, the market houses galleries, outdoor cafés, restaurants and boutiques, and functions as an exhibition place for various events. |
