Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal

This guide to the Musee d'art contemporain de Montreal traces the museum's story from its 1964 founding, the first in Canada built purely for contemporary art, through its wandering years in a mansion and an Expo 67 pavilion before it finally settled at Place des Arts in 1992. It follows the 2021 closure for renovation and the collection now sitting largely in storage, including works by sculptor Betty Goodwin and a rooftop photograph by Genevieve Cadieux. Listen for why its temporary home at Place Ville Marie is, in a way, where the whole story started.
