A MAJOR PROJECT FOR MONTREAL

Just like New York, Chicago, London and Barcelona, the cultural metropolis of Montreal deserves a major museum devoted to its history and that of Montrealers of all backgrounds: an inclusive, welcoming museum, open to the city and the world.

On the eve of its 100th anniversary, the McCord Stewart Museum has announced a legacy project that will benefit generations of Montrealers in addition to attracting thousands of tourists each year.

With a collection of 1.5 million artefacts chronicling the city's history from pre-colonial times to the present day, the new museum will be an essential reference on Montreal and its role as a driving force in Canada’s development.

A major project for Montreal, this world-class museum will enhance the city's international prestige.
