McCord Museum of Canadian History

Although this is not a huge museum, every exhibit is SO well presented. The attention to details in every room of every exhibit is top tier. We had a great time. They make a noticeable effort to make their environment/presentations family/kids-friendly. The « Indigenous voices of today » exhibit was the best, most heartfelt and thought-generating First Nations exhibit we’ve seen so far. The costume balls exhibit is making us realize how much forward we went forward as a society in barely 100-150 years while appreciating old days crafstmanship and (sometimes unhealthy) creativity.

Spent a morning exploring this small, well-curated museum. The exhibits highlight different aspects of Quebec's culture and history, and the juxtaposition of exhibits on indigenous trauma and elite costume balls was quite poignant. The gift shop has a large selection of products from indigenous makers and is worth a visit.

Great exhibits! We didn’t know what to expect, but were very pleasantly surprised by the interesting and engaging exhibits here. Local and regional content was original and refreshing! We come to town annually and will come back to see more! Oh, and some really neat stuff in the gift shop. 😁

I really liked this museum. There was two galleries in there that was so interesting. One of them was about old design of dresses and another one was about making unique statues from rocks. Really recommend to visit this place for who are in the Montreal.

I wished I had more time to see all the exhibitions. Being an indigenous people in Taiwan, I’m well familiar with past traumas and the ongoing struggles. I wish one day we don’t have to talk about equity. That’s also the time humanity reaches a higher standard.
