The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
(Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal)

What a fantastic museum experience! They offered free tickets for the holidays, which was such a generous gesture. The art collections were incredible, with a mix of classic and modern pieces that cater to all tastes. It was a bit crowded, as expected with the free entry, but everyone was very respectful, and the atmosphere remained calm and enjoyable. The staff were also friendly and helpful, making the visit even better. If you’re looking for something inspiring and fun to do this holiday season, I highly recommend checking it out!

I recently visited the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts for the first time, and it was an unforgettable experience. I went during spring break when they were offering free admission, which was the perfect opportunity to explore. I took the metro, and it was super easy to get there—Peel station is just a short walk away. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by how stunning the museum is. The mix of historic and modern architecture creates such a welcoming and open atmosphere. I was introduced to so many different styles of art that I didn’t even have time to see the entire museum! From classic European paintings to vibrant Canadian works and contemporary pieces, it felt like a whirlwind tour through history and creativity. Each gallery had its own unique vibe, and I loved how every section told its own story. One of the best surprises was how family-friendly the museum is. Since it was spring break, there were plenty of activities for kids. I saw children getting hands-on with art and creating their own pieces. It was heartwarming to see how the museum made art accessible and fun for all ages, making it a great outing for families. The staff was incredibly friendly and encouraging, and I felt comfortable taking my time and exploring at my own pace. After a few hours, a security guard gently reminded me that the museum was closing soon, and I realized I’d barely scratched the surface of what it has to offer. The only downside was that I really wanted to see the Joyce Wieland exhibition, but it wasn’t included with the free ticket. I’ll definitely be back to catch that next time! Overall, my visit to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend it—there’s something for everyone! Whether you’re a fan of classic art, contemporary works, or looking for a fun new experience, this museum has it all.

This museum features a lot of works by local Canadian artists, making it a great place to explore Canadian art. It’s also one of Montreal’s iconic buildings. The architecture and gallery layouts are amazing—the building itself feels like a piece of art in the city. The exhibition spaces are huge and spread out across different sections, each with its own style but all beautifully connected. The design is brilliant! 👍 I’d recommend setting aside half a day to visit.

I love going to this museum it always has differents expositions that warms way heart. I’m so happy they gave free entry for the holidays 2024. I went with my Mexican mom that a history enthusiast , she was so excited to see the exposition about the native Mexican cultural objects. We also enjoyed the exposition of the other cultures such as African and Japanese. There was also very beautiful traditional paintings and modern art. I had a very nice time !!!

Amazing place to visit if you love art, architecture or are in need of an activity to do. If you’re visiting for the general museum it’s free which is wonderful and it’s not too expensive to see the exhibits once they come in. I would suggest not coming by car but instead taking the metro or bus. Most people don’t know that many of napoleons personal items are in this museum, so go see that if you’re a history buff!
