Built in 1903 first trucks where pulled by horses. This city was created due to the power of these great creatures and now the mayor of Montreal Valerie Plante wants to get rid of them in the name of progress. How misguided beliefs

Bohdan Т

(Translated) special thanks to the creators of the ground floor presentations. every frame, image projection, dynamics and semantic fullness are so thought out. thanks to this, the history of Montreal is perceived and absorbed very easily and pleasantly. I think many museums have a lot to learn in this sense. the second floor is more pop and emotional. to some extent, it dissipates concentration of attention, but this has its own plus - an increase in emotionality (Original) отдельное спасибо создателям презентаций на первом этаже. настолько продуман каждый кадр, проектировка изображений, динамика и смысловая наполненность. благодаря этому история Монреаля воспринимается и усваивается очень легко и приятно. мне кажется, многим музеям в этом смысле есть чему поучиться. второй этаж более попсовый и эмоциональный. в какой-то степени он рассеивает концентрацию внимания , но в этом есть и свой плюс - увеличение эмоциональности

The worst museum I have ever been to. There is not much to see in there and the minimal information provided is a bit deluded. The people who work there are rude and are not knowledgeable.
