This showcase of modern Canadian and international art has eight galleries divided between past greats (since 1939) and exciting current developments. A weighty collection of 7600 permanent works includes Québécois legends Jean-Paul Riopelle, Paul-Émile Borduas and Geneviève Cadieux, but also temporary exhibitions of the latest trends in current art from Canadian and international artists. Forms range from traditional to new media, including painting, sculpture, installation art, photography and video.
Note that until renovations are complete in 2025, only a small selection of works will be on display at a satellite site on Place Ville-Marie.
