Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
1380 Rue Sherbrooke O, Montréal, QC H3G 1J5
Encyclopedic fine-arts collection spanning ancient artifacts to contemporary works across five connected pavilions.
This guide to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts follows a carved stone relief from Persepolis that vanished from these galleries in 2013, and its unlikely path to a yoga teacher's bedroom shelf in Edmonton, wedged between Star Wars figurines and quartz crystals. It traces the police raid that found it, the owner's claim that he never knew what he had bought, and the ancient empire the relief once belonged to. Somewhere in the cases around you sit other fragments just as old, waiting to be noticed.
