Description of Contemporary Art Museum

The Musée moved to the heart of downtown on May 28, 1992. Truly a museum for the twenty-first century, the Musée d'art contemporain is part of the Place des Arts, Canada's only cultural complex devoted to both the performing and visual arts.

A major Canadian institution dedicated exclusively to contemporary art, the Musée offers a varied program ranging from presentations of its Permanent Collection to exhibitions of works by Québec, Canadian and international artists. The Permanent Collection comprises some 7,000 works, including the largest collection of art by Paul-Émile Borduas. Through Education and Documentation Department, the museum presents a host of educational activities further to connect the general public with contemporary art. The Musée also stages numerous multimedia events, including performance, new dance, experimental theatre, contemporary music, video and film.
