Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Description

(Local Name: Musée des Beaux Arts) The Musée des Beaux Arts, situated on the western edge of downtown Montréal, is the oldest museum in Canada, having been founded in 1860. Several dozen rooms house the city's public art collection comprising paintings, sculpture and items of applied art of all periods from Europe and Canada. For some years now the museum has also mounted major exhibitions of modern art. Equally noteworthy, this time from an architectural point of view, is the museum's annexe by Moshe Safdie.
