As luck would have it, when I visited Montreal my hotel was like 4 blocks from the Museum of Fine Arts so I made sure to visit. The museum itself is beautiful! They have many, many interesting collections, from paintings to sculpture to art from different periods and cultures as well as contemporary art, all spread out over two building... more

I really liked this museum. It has a fairly extensive and diverse collection. Usually I'm just as interested in the buildings that house the art work. In this case there are two buildings. The one north of Sherbroke is historical while the one south of Sherbroke is very modern. There is an underground passage way to connect the two. The... more

Do not miss the chance to explore this amazing museum. The permanent exhibit is free and offers some fantastic artifacts. Napoleon's hat from the Russian campaign, locks of his hair, and his boots were some of the interesting items in the collection. Works from Renoir, Matisse, Monet, Picasso, and others made the free admission hard to believe. We visited the... more

Very nice

The Fine Arts Museum was on the top of the list for places to see. We head over to the Fine Arts Museum to especially see the Warhol exhibit. We used the Underground City to navigate our way to the museum and combine two things at once. So, we successfully navigate through and walk the remaining blocks to the museum.... more

We went to the museum when the Yves St. Laurent exhibit was there. We didn't pay the admission fee to see the YSL exhibit because it looked like it was just clothes on mannequins, but now that we look back, we really regret not going! The hosts of our B&B said that they had guests who had gone back two... more

This museum is one of the best planned museums that I have ever visited. Staff are friendly and you can't beat the free admission for the permanent collection. Collections are well spaced out in appropriate themes and I couldn't help but be impressed by the lighting and staging of the artwork. Truly a wonderful collection ranging from Ancient artifacts to... more

The MOFA in Montreal is located in a great neighborhood near thr Ritz. It had a very sophisticated and eclectic art collection. I found the Walt Disney exposition (admission very resonably priced) especially great. Their collection of artifacts and crafts form ancient cultures is also a great asset. The cafe has decent food but alittle pricey. Overall, definitely worth a... more

I saw the Picasso Erotic exposition in 2001. It’s a really beautifull museum, located downtown on Sherbrooke St. I was impressed with the Museum collection (Free Admission!), especially by their Jeanpaul Riopel pieces (a local artist). iLuvMtl! more

Loved it!
