Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
| Description | Neighbourhood : Downtown
Type : Arts
There are two pavillions (soon three pavillions), the newest one is on the south side of Sherbrooke and it's connected by a underground passageway to the older building, known as the Benaiah Gibb building. The temporary exhibitions are mostly at the Jean-Noel Desmarais building and parts of the permanent exhibition are on the 3rd (don't miss the Otto Dix painting there) and the 4th floor (some Impressionists, medieval art and decorative objects). The rest of the permanent collection (collection of canadian artists) and other temporary exhibitions can be found at the Benaiah Gibb building. There's also a small collection of african masks in the passageway between the two buildings (basement level). You can buy your tickets for the special exhibitions at either pavillions and the permanent collection is free (it is suggested that you give a fair donation to the museum). There's a small but complete book store with books on ... art and the museum's boutique at the Desmarais building. The boutique has a good selection of art posters as well as the usual museum boutique merchandise (including some reproductions of objects from other museums like the Louvres). For more information on the museum, visit the excellent web site.
