Bank of Montreal or Banque de Montreal, is Canada's oldest bank, having been established in 1817. The building in which it is housed is an absolutely grand old, luxurious, out of this world place! It's a bank, of course! Worth a visit.

I love how they've kept the old tellers and original decoration of Cda's first bank. It is really beautiful inside. Good for BMO for keeping its original building available for use, as I don't believe the other Cdn banks still have their original buildings in use the way BMO does. We really enjoyed the little museum, and the explanation of currency in Cda from the 1800s; we spent about 30 minutes, but loved every minute. All free admission.

We visited the Bank of Montreal while touring Montreal. The edifice is an imposing structure overlooking the Place d'Armes park and facing the Notre Dame Basilica. In between the bank and the Notre Dame Basilica are two sculptures called the English Pug and the French Poodle which look towards each building showing the past and future of Montreal. It is a nice place to see the dichotomy in Montreal and helps to understand some of the historical tensions within the city and the province.

It is a bank. It is free to enter. Inside is an impressive monument to those who served in WWI. It is closed on week-ends of course, but any other time you WANT this on your tour.

The lobby of this bank is gorgeous with a lovely statue commemorating employees who died in WWI and a lovely dome. Just across from the basilica - be sure to stop by for a quick look.

A local that helped us with the parking meter station suggested we go across the square from Notre Dame and visit the Bank of Montreal to see the columns, which were gorgeous, and the museum. It was an interesting little bit of history tucked away inside.
Don't try to go past the lobby for pictures, that's a no no.

Founded in 1817, Bank of Montreal is Canada's first bank. The Montreal main office at 119 Saint-Jacques was built in 1847. The Neoclassical building was built to impress -- and impress it does.
Anyone can enter during business hours. Gaze up at the dome as you walk in. The main hall is impressive, with columns reaching to the roof and commemorative plaques. The branch itself is quite lovely. Note that photography is not allowed in the branch area.
Be sure to visit the museum just to the left of the entrance.
