The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is a must-see when in Montreal. The complex is so massive, you may want to plan on spending an entire day here, or even come back here on multiple occasions. Seriously! I somehow managed to visit and see the entire museum in one visit that took several hours, but it felt quite overwhelming at times (but this is on me). There are many buildings here that feature many different topics of art, from paintings to contemporary art to many different kinds of exhibits from around the world. You'll find it all here! It seems that this museum is the oldest in Canada, and I can see why. But as massive as the place was, it definitely was not overwhelming. The layout of the building is so good in the sense that it never feels that way. It's easy for one to spend quite a few hours in here, and not even realize how much time has already passed. ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE: People under the age of 20 are eligible for free admission. Take advantage of that!! I definitely recommend this museum for those who are visiting Montreal - it is a must-see, and one will quickly realize as to why Montreal is considered one of the cultural capitals of the world.

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is housed in two buildings connected by an underground corridor. In the first one, you can see old art and art from all over the world. In the second building, the works of contemporary artists and Inuit and Native American art were exhibited. Objects from ancient China, Japan, Egypt, Greece or the African continent were absolutely amazing. At the time of my visit, there was a temporary exhibition of artifacts from ancient Colombia. The exhibition was fascinating. Museums from Houston, Los Angeles, and Bogotá borrowed objects for it, and there were also things from private collections. In the another section you could admire the paintings of such greats as Rembrandt, Auguste Renoir, Claude Manet, Pablo Picasso, The Group of Seven and many others. The collection of paintings here is truly gorgeous. There was also a fairly large shop in the museum where, in addition to souvenirs, you can also buy a lot of beautiful books about art.

The Fine Arts Museum of Montreal is a large complex that houses art from around the world and from many eras too. From Chinese to European, Egyptian as well as an Exhibit from Colombia. The collections on display are extensive and you will naturally also fin Canadian art( Group of 7) amongst others. The Museum comprises 5 buildings but several of them were not open which is a good excuse for a return visit.

Exploring the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts was a highlight of my trip. The museum’s extensive collection is a testament to art’s diversity and beauty. From classical masterpieces to contemporary works, there was something to captivate every art lover. The museum’s layout is easy to navigate, and the staff was helpful in providing insights into the exhibits. The temporary exhibitions added an extra layer of excitement to my visit. The sculpture garden was a serene oasis in the heart of the city. Whether you’re an art aficionado or a casual visitor, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts offers a captivating cultural experience.

Very mixed experience. If you go before January be sure to check out the excellent Morisal exhibit. It is outstanding with free tours in English on Wednesday and Saturday. The main collection is a mixed bag with some first rate piece and a good many second tier works. The Canadian wing was a major disappointment. The pieces were mostly mediocre.

A lot of just the kind of art that we love, with paintings and sculptures from all the great artists. Pop Art was a bit lame and too many of the galleries were closed for no particular reason, but still a real wow! Don’t forget your hiking boots as you’ll need them.

Clean and well organized museum. They have a coat counter with an attendant. Has a cafeteria. They accept credit/debit card. Stroller friendly stairs but also has a elevator. This activity is worth a day to spend easily to fully enjoy and engulfed the informations. The main building is closed as of now March 2024 for renovations but the two buildings are opened which all three are just connected by an underground passage.

A beautiful museum great location with easy access. The galleries are very presented and the different theme well define and organized. Take the time to explore (2-3 hours) Easy to walk around the museum cover both side of the street with underground tunnels.

Such a great art museum! During our visit, we saw all four floors of the Pavilion for Peace and the Georgia O’Keefe and Henry Moore exhibit. Everything was arranged really well with legible and interesting signage and descriptions. There were plenty of places to stop and take a seat throughout the Pavilion of Peace, which was much appreciated. The cafe was small but what I had (chicken salad sandwich) was solid for museum food! I am definitely hoping to return before the end of our trip.

Outstanding museum! A wide collection of art well presented. Recommend you plan for several hours to take it all in. Multiple floors spread across several buildings all accessible through connecting walk ways.
