Founded in 1860, Montreal's largest art museum holds nearly 47,000 works spanning antiquity to today, spread across multiple pavilions covering Canadian, Inuit, international, and contemporary art, plus an outdoor sculpture garden — all with a strong focus on accessibility and community.

A Montreal landmark for over a century, this museum holds 3.2 million images, objects and artworks spanning the city's social history. Its exhibitions, community programmes and free outdoor Museum Alley explore Indigenous voices, Olympic history and contemporary life through an inclusive, decolonial lens.
