Montreal Museums
Montreal museums preserve, restore, display, and sometimes demonstrate art, artifacts, culture (Francophone, Anglophone, Allophone), history, and everything else you would expect of a large cosmopolitan city. Visitors will find the historical and cultural museums interesting. Some museums are designed for quiet contemplation like the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, while others are all about hands-on immersion, like the Centre d'histoire de Montréal. Given the cultural richness and heritage of the city and the excellent universities, it isn't surprising that there are so many Montreal museums.Montreal Museums
