Parisian Laundry
A former industrial laundry turned monster gallery, this 15,000-sq-ft space is worth a trip for the building itself even if you’re not a fan of large-format contemporary art. Natural light floods through enormous 19th-century-era windows into two floors of exhibition rooms. Exhibitions have included print artist Francine Simonin and international star Jean-Paul Riopelle. It also holds occasional artists’ talks and lectures.
