Reviews of Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal (Museum)

H-j Y

(Translated) It was fun ~ Adults are $ 17 Students and seniors are discounted (about $ 10) (Original) 재미있었어요~ 성인은 17불 학생 및 노약자는 할인이 됩니다 (약 10불정도)

Armando Bajares

This museum is special. Yes, they have a good collection of Quebec contemporary artists and many good pieces of the 20th century. But this is not what make this museum special. This museum is special because it doesn’t have the best artists and masterpieces of the world, hence they produce the best temporary exhibitions of contemporary artists. Also, these exhibitions has a great social approach, always pushing a sociological and anthropological analysis of the artist and its work. If it is Winter, don't worry, you can access the museum directly from the metro station Place-des-arts without going outside.

I just attracted to videos

Jim250

One of my favorite place in Montreal. The exposition are modern and often interactive. I often tears up when I visit it and I try to do so every 6 months.

Martin Decelles

Liked the exposing on children playing.

Amélie Gatien

(Translated) Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's "Unstable Presence" exhibition creates cognitive dissonance at several points, which is rather interesting to experience. We ask ourselves questions and we question our way of life. Is our freedom real? Are we still being watched? Does technology have all the good sides? A visit where many reflections are made! (Original) L'exposition "Présence instable" de Rafael Lozano-Hemmer crée de la dissonance cognitive à plusieurs moments, ce qui est plutôt intéressant à vivre. On se pose des questions et on remet en question notre mode de vie. Est-ce que notre liberté est réelle? Sommes-nous toujours surveillés? La technologie a-t-elle que des bons côtés? Une visite où l'on fait de nombreuses réflexions!

Omar Huitrón

just LOVE IT ...

Ania Wajda

The museum is in a great location, right by the Place-des-Artes subway station. Affordable pricing for students - $10 for entrance with student ID. The 'Manifestos' exhibition is a must see! Also, the lightbulbs at the entrance are amazing, worth stopping by.

Mark Darling

Medium-sized art gallery featuring a unique selection of contemporary art from around the world

Michael Greenstein

Underwhelming

Fabian Sanchez

Definitely a different perspective of life

Raphael F

Very nice space for eclectic expositions

Sara Dagostino

(Translated) Super nice outing with the daycare, what a joy to introduce your child to art! Thank you to the staff for the painting workshop! (Original) Super belle sortie avec la garderie, quel bonheur de faire découvrir l'art à son enfant! Merci au staff pour l'atelier de peinture!

Joe D

Went to the Leonard Cohen exhibition. Probably the best exhibition I've seen for a while, and only fo r$12.

Eleonora Scarpa

Quite interesting show!

Jacqueline Luty

Manifesto is great, you will want 2hours if you want to experience it all.

Secret Seeker

We visited for the Leonard Cohen exhibition and it was excellent. The gallery rooms are a good large size and several were set up with projections and some small padded seats and with more floor seating on carpet. (Fold out seats were available for older and disabled visitors). The films that had been created for the exhibition were incredible and gave you a good feel for L.C.'s life. Touching and heart warming. We visited parts of the other exhibitions which were good for modern art - not necessarily to my artistic taste though.

Ben Moore (ORKESTRAL)

Sensory overload

Reza Sattari

Lots of cool stuff here. Highly recommended.

喜相逢

There were very few visitors and the exhibition was amazing.

Samuel Lando

Not what I expected... not worth $15 as I only enjoyed 2 exhibits

Nadine Sercia

(Translated) Loved the staff at the reception and in the exhibitions. By cons disappointed that the permanent exhibition was closed and no indication on the website. I learned it by going there ... (Original) Aimé le personnel à l'accueil et dans les expositions. Par contre déçue que l'expo permanente était fermé et aucune indication sur le site web. Je l'ai appris en m'y rendant ...

Ryan Bertrand

Great place to see some post modern art

Matthew Burns

The Leonard Cohen exhibit is really cool! I didn't know he was from Montreal.

Daniel Klein

Like all modern art museums, it has interesting stuff and then there are things that your 5 year old could do better. It's worth a visit!

toomanywitches

A bit short but so interractive we just circled it twice.

Rafael Osío Cabrices

(Translated) A great museum. There are more extensive and richer ones, but this one takes great advantage of what it has. Its permanent collection gives a good idea of various relevant stages of European art and the temporary exhibitions stand out for their curatorship and their museology. There is also always something for children. The only flaw: the cafeteria. (Original) Un gran museo. Los hay más extensos y más ricos, pero éste saca gran provecho de lo que tiene. Su colección permanente da una buena idea de varias etapas relevantes del arte europeo y las muestras temporales destacan por su curaduría y su museología. Siempre hay además algo para los niños. La única falla : la cafetería.

김민희

nothing to see. I don't know it is because of the virus but really small and any impressing things...

Patrina Huff

Visited once several years ago. Lovely place and lovely staff.

Zhe Li

A great museum. A lot smaller than the museum of beaux arts though.

Edouard Geyer

(Translated) Very happy with my 3 visits to the exhibition of Leonard Cohen, good place in March 19 in renovation but when it's open again I will return for sure. (Original) Très content de mes 3 visites à l'exposition de Léonard Cohen, bonne endroit en Mars 19 en rénovation mais quand c'est ouvert de nouveau je vais retourner c'est certain.

Eden Schwinghamer

An amazing and interesting collection, with friendly staff. Easy to access in English or French.

Philip Hyjek

Wonderful museum. See the Leonard Cohen exhibit while you can.

beautiful

Nice museum, excellent staff

(Translated) Leonard Cohen - A Breach of Everything: Cohen's Light (Original) Leonard Cohen - Une brèche en toute chose: la lumière de Cohen

Fran Flaherty

Was good to visit however they were in between exhibitions. Only charge 5 cdn instead of $15 which was nice. Saw 'this is how the light gets in' and 'the prophets'. My favorite piece was by Yann Procreau, Cathedrals

Sébastien Sénéchal

Good discovery

Susan Michael

Not really much to see, but nice to escape the cold.

Vigny F.

Small museum, with basically one full floor of exhibits. The main light exhibit at the time that I visited, which is located at the lobby of the museum, only had presentations twice a day, and I wasn't able to see it before leaving. Check the type of exhibits they have before deciding if you want to go. Half price on Wednesdays from 5-9pm!

Eddie Pak

Not a huge museum, but they seem to show a lot of great stuff.

Júlio Brita

Nice.

johan cohen

(Translated) I think that contemporary art deserves better and more ambitious from Montreal, first city of Quebec and second city of Canada. (Original) Je pense que l'art contemporain mérite mieux et plus ambitieux de la part de Montréal, première ville du Québec et deuxième ville du Canada.

giuliano cardella

Interesting

Krystle Raymond

One of the best art museum experiences of my life I would definitely put this on the list of must-see attractions from Montreal

K Schneider

Go visit. Support the arts.

Jeremy Arnie

The entrance price is too expensive (19 dollars the visit), the museum is too small for a price like that, and there is almost nothing interesting inside.

Andrew Thiel

Maybe when the galleries are opened it'd be a nice place, but unfortunately there isn't much to see at the moment.

åsa svensson

The David Altmejd exhibition is mindbending.

Koda Johnston

Fascinating art installations.

John R.

a fantastic museum. please visit it.

messa litle

Is this the montreal equivalent of the pompidou? It's always been my favourite. Years ago I would spend the whole afternoon here. Its quiet& quirky. some installations could keep me engaged for hours. I went back for a visit this past summer and was not disappointed even during the pandemic- they will always have something peculiar on display!

Kristi Fuoco

I had one of the best artistic experiences that I have had in recent memory here—A Lot of Sorrow, a collaboration with Ragnar Kjartansson and The National is mind blowing. I was utterly mesmerized. I wish I could have gone back every day. Lots of other interesting works to see too.

Dulce Almaraz

Cute

Lisa Isakov

Wonderful time, always feel refreshed when I come to visit. The Museum always has a different experience and feel, the exhibitions are amazing.

Crystal Theberge

I was there in May of 2017 and I saw a lot of pieces that made me feel so many different things. Art is truly the door to the soul. The staff were super friendly and helpful when I was there!

Olivia Partlow

Great exhibits. I wish I could have spent more time here.

B Dog

I always enjoy myself here. The digital exhibits were astounding - they engaged me as art, while teaching me something about facial recognition, and a variety of other technologies. The exhibits are well selected, interesting, and the length of the museum feels just right for the $$, and my sustained interest. The sound ones, too - the Bach ball, especially - I've never seen and heard such a unique application of fairly simple digital technology.

Noémie Faucher

(Translated) Special moment with my baby. Nice museum, nice location. (Original) Moment privilégié avec ma bébé. Beau musée, belle situation géographique.

Weining Guan

Some interesting artwork and installation by local artists. Just when you thought you finished the floor and wanted to explore more, you find that’s all. Out of the huge building, the part on exhibition actually took very few space.

Tommy K.

Beautiful museum with great events

Brett Tegart

Fantastic, large museum with a variety of exhibits.

Najim Filali Saksak

Awesome staff and great exhibitions during the "nuit blanche" .

Juan Felipe Hedmont

Love it

Yizhe Liu

I was asked, “where are you from?” by the staff in the ticket center. I’m not sure that’s asked out of curiosity or MAC would like to collect the visitors’ demographic data (which I was not aware of). If you want to collect the data, let me know first before throwing the question directly. Otherwise, why do I need to explain my identity?

Alex Cournoyer

(Translated) Modern museum which presents beautiful and interesting exhibitions on contemporary arts. The museum does not seem to be exploited to its maximum. If you are limited in time, prefer the MMFA. Access by metro Place des arts. Less than $ 20 / adult (Original) Musée moderne qui présente de belles expositions intéressantes sur les arts contemporains. Le musée ne semble pas exploité à son maximum. Si vous êtes limité dans le temps, privilégier le MBAM. Accès par métro Place des arts. Moins de $20 /adulte

Olivier Mailhot

Interesting expositions, usually not too crowded during the day.

Philippe Vachon

I'm always pleasantly surprised by the exhibitions they have. It's a great museum!

Sebastien A

Some nice pieces, great experience!

Patti McCurdy

Disappointing collection when I went Dec 27.

Ann Burruss

The exhibit by Raphael Lozano-Hemmer was thought provoking. The interactivity was engaging. A great space for contemporary art.

Dave Posner

The main exhibition is closed so this is not a good time to visit.

Mario Sandaña Samur

(Translated) I visited it on February 9, 2020, very few exhibits open to the public. With full capacity exhibits it should be interesting. (Original) Lo visité el 9 de febrero de 2020, muy pocas exhibiciones abiertas al publico. Con exhibiciones a capacidad completa debe ser interesante.

Lau Méla

(Translated) I went to the MAC for the Leonard Cohen exhibition, very interesting, I learned a lot there. By cons I find the prices a little expensive for the size and duration of the visit! (Original) Je suis allée au MAC à l'occasion de l'expo sur Leonard Cohen, très intéressant, j'y ai appris beaucoup de choses. Par contre je trouve les prix un peu chers pour la taille et la durée de la visite!

Jess S

(Translated) Although slightly interesting from a technical point of view, ultimately I was disappointed. Very small exhibition, too many people for the little space, too much ambient noise to enjoy the sound installations, and to top it off: an entry fee of $ 20 (and half the regular price) ) for the very little that there is. In an entire exhibition comprising more than ten, or even maybe more than twenty installations, only two or three were understandable / appreciable from an artistic point of view, and this despite my habit of spending almost 10- 30 minutes per room to analyze each room in a museum from all possible angles as well as reading the attached text. From a technical and technological point of view, there were some impressive concepts, sure, but overdeveloped and poorly executed. Avoid for now if you are looking for something other than novelty without depth, there are other free museums with infinitely more content. At least I can say I tried it, maybe the next show will be worth the outrageous price. (Original) Bien que légèrement intéressant d'un point de vu technique, ultimement, j'ai été déçu. Exposition de très petite taille, beaucoup trop de gens pour le peu d'espace, trop de bruit ambient pour profiter des installations sonore, et pour couronner le tout: un coût d'entrée de 20$ (et ce, à moitié du prix régulier) pour le très peu qu'il y a. Dans une exposition entière comprenant plus d'une dizaine, voir même peut être plus d'une vingtaine d'installations, seulement 2 ou trois était compréhensible/appréciable d'un point de vue artistique, et ce malgré mon habitude de passer presque 10-30 minutes par pièce à analyser chaque pièce d'un musée dans tout les angles possible ainsi la lecture du texte joint. Du point de vue technique et technologique, il y avait des concepts impressionnant, certe, mais surdéveloppé et pauvrement exécuté. À éviter pour l'instant si on cherche autre chose que de la nouveauté sans profondeur, il y a d'autre musées gratuit ayant infiniment plus de contenu. Au moins je pourrai dire que je l'ai essayée, peut être que la prochaine exposition vaudra son prix exorbitant.

Clara Préfontaine-Paquette

(Translated) The exhibitions are always interesting and varied. In addition they often allow a good interaction between visitors and works of art which is very entertaining. (Original) Les expositions sont toujours intéressantes et variés. De plus elles permettent souvent une bonne interaction entre les visiteurs et les œuvres d'art ce qui est très divertissant.

Stacy Levy

Fabulous museum. Easy bus access. Can get crowded on weekends.

Teng Teng Zhang

Disappointing experience. I visited the museum of fine arts in the past in Montreal and wanted to hit up a few of the smaller museum in the city during this separate visit. It's a very small space with limited installation. Should adopt the "suggested" fee policy similar to museum in New York.

GioA “ALEX GIO A GO GO” Gogo

"THIERRY MUGLER COUTURISSIME" I LOVE FASHION AND GALLERY FASHION BATH.

Shanna Frechette

I went here to see the expo Manifesto. Quite cacophonic but still very interesting. It is reasonably priced and love the fact that you can access it without going outside.

Kunal Badgujar

Good one... My most liked sections is projector one where I saw games which I used to play as a child... Nostalgia...

Maria Elizabeth Izquierdo

All hail Arthur Jafa!

JoAnn Castillo

We arrived about an hour before closing (we kept getting lost on our walk over) and they let us in for free. I enjoyed the Arys exhibit of children's games, and the Bleu on Bleu exhibit. Really enjoyed it. Would definitely return on another visit to Montreal.

Daniel Shusterman

One of the coolest museums in the city.

Ralph Valente

What a waste of time. Should have spent more time at the fine arts museum.

Kathryn Langston

Amazing

Emma de Haan

Great museum, some expositiona are more interesting than others

Stafford Green

We were a little annoyed because we paid full price but couldn't see the permanent exhibit. And some of the temporary modern art was just junk (sorry to be harsh - but it was bad). - I think it has an opportunity to improve with better exhibits and fair pricing (when half of museum is closed).

Tati Guevara

I expected better.

ABDERRAHMENE ARFAOUI

(Translated) Good place for a quiet evening stroll ❤️ (Original) Bonne Endroit pour une promenade tranquille le soir ❤️

Santiago Name

Amazing! the expos are great both inside and out the building, the museum design is really good!

Daniel Law

Great

Bohdan Т

(Translated) Recently, contemporary art is not very happy. meaning, beauty and depth are less and less, and more and more fetish and construction. the museum is well conceived. the passageways between the halls are obvious and simple. the staff is polite and helpful with any request. but the expositions themselves are not endowed with special power. the perception is weak enough. (Original) в последнее время современное искусство не очень радует. смысла, красоты и глубины все меньше, а фетиша и конструирования все больше. музей задуман хорошо. проходы между залами очевидны и просты. персонал вежлив и помогает при любом обращении. а вот сами экспозиции не наделены особой мощью. восприятие достаточно слабое.

Enna Hughes

Lots on interesting and interactive art. Kids loved it.

Kevin Urquilla

We saw William Kentridge, and a couple of others. I just wish they had more works from Kentridge. It felt like a cozy museum experience that focused on 5-6 contemporary artists. Overall a great experience.

Jeffrey Liu

Decent variety of art to see.

Kate Hammer

The best museum in Montreal. Gwt the year pass! It's worth it even if uou go a couple of times!

Hailey Cheng

It was a rather quick walk through for myself (only took an hour or so), and it's best if there aren't any school tours because kids are obnoxious and they crowd the gallery. I definitely would not say I have a particular interest in modern art, but it is always interesting to see what people have been inspired to do. This gallery provides a generous space for a limited amount of exhibits, which can be good and bad, depending on your perspective. There were some exhibits entirely in French (descriptions and labels) so as a visiting Torontonian Anglophone, it was difficult for me to enjoy or understand.

Michael Ketzner

This muesam was so much fun!! The art was all really cool and not at all what I expected. It was also reasonably priced. I definitely recommend coming here!

Nicolas Martin

(Translated) Only the permanent exhibits were open when I went, but it was good! (Original) Seulement les expos permanentes étaient ouvertes quand je suis allé, mais c'était bien!

Ali Baigy

I always enjoy the art exhibitions in this location, very nice and professional settings with interesting activities to keep children busy.

YM Chao

Awesome regular program and lots of cool special exhibitions.

Michael Michelis

Suprisingly great art

Kim Fraser

Amazing Leonard Cohen exhibit! Kudos to the team of artists and museum staff.

Francesc Rosas

Permanent collection is closed until Sep. You still have to pay full price though ????

Mike Kwon

I had an amazing experience here. If you are interested in contemporary art, this is the absolutely must-go place.

Kris Darbyshire

The curation is decent, however if caters to mostly French speakers and the layout is crappy

Norberto Santiago

I went for the Leonard Cohen exhibit and it was a great experience. I would visit again if i go back to Montreal.

Holden Stephan Roy

Cool experience

Naeim Roudehchi

Great Exibit the Manifesto. Super awesome and creative

Abdul Rahman A

We visited for the Leonard Cohen exhibition and it was excellent.

Touching and heart warming. We visited parts of the other exhibitions which were good for modern art - not necessarily to my artistic taste though.

P M

Nothing special here.

brian boulianne

Went to see the Leonard Cohen exhibition, Crack in Everything. It is not well organized, with excessively long waits, 40 min, to enter basic displays with very poor acoustics. Very disappointing, a loss of time. I was definitely expecting much better from MAC.

Adam M

Amazing gallery with great collections

Ramin Eshraghi-Yazdi (Nur Films)

Great spot for an afternoon of art.

io media

Post Modern Art New bright colourful art in various media: painting, mixed media, sculpture, video and interactive made by living artists are showcased using materials like plastic, metal, glass, along with more traditional materials like paints and ceramics. One installation with many light bulbs gradually lighted up when hands touched its control. Another dark room had multiple video screens showing a famous American actress acting in diverse characters in her many films.

Flor Elba Castro

Recommended. It is worth visit it.

Kero Yon

Interesting place.

P. Simon Lachapelle

(Translated) The nocturnes ... It's just amazing ... (Original) Les nocturnes... C'est juste incroyable..

Daniel Ruthman

Overall, thought the exhibit I and my family saw was well put together and made to be cleverly interactive. However, the experience was underwhelming as we completed the entire exhibit within an hour and there was nothing else to see on site. Given the price of admission, I had expected to see other works (either from the collection or traveling) to extend the length of stay as many other museums in the area offer. I would suggest visiting one of the many other museums such as the museum of architecture prior to this one if you are looking for things to do.

Dale Hayward

Too expensive, limited collection

Antoine Fourré

(Translated) While it looks small from the outside, the museum uses its space intelligently to offer enough works to admire. Mention to the particularly interesting "manifesto" exhibition. (Original) Alors qu'il paraît petit depuis l'extérieur, le musée utilise son espace intelligemment pour proposer assez d'oeuvres à admirer. Mention à l'exposition "manifesto" particulièrement intéressante.

Sofia VP

It was ok, nice place but there wasn’t really anything to do. I would have been very mad if I had paid full price for it.

Caroline Topperman

Absolutely a must visit in Montreal. The exhibition was amazing and the atmosphere of the gallery is very inspiring.

Conrad Balbinot

20 dollars per person to see a handfull of paintings and 15 variations of Leonard Cohen videos. Definitely not what I expected. Don't show up for this exposition unless you are a die hard fan, otherwise I'm sure you can find all better content online.

Ronald Allen

Two exhibits were on display during our visit. Put together very well. Tip: There is no permanent collection.

Valerie Bourdon

Went to see a friend's live performance here. The space is on the smaller side but in a prime location in the city and a definite must-see for tourist.

Dane Hammer

Not very big when it's half open, but I didn't want to leave once I made it to the Jean-Pierre Gauthier installation.

Priscille Hastey

(Translated) A real pleasure to be there. Understanding a work before reading its explanation, I love it (Original) Un réel plaisir de se retrouver là. Comprendre une œuvre avant de lire son explication, j’adore

Kim Monnet

(Translated) Wednesday night half price! The exhibition was music, fun and accessible to all (Original) Mercredi soir moitié prix ! L'exposition était musique, amusante et accessible à tous

Jaidev De

Very abstract

Jean-Rene Auger

Good social distancing practices, not too expensive and nice exhibit.

Lucas Guinet

Great exposition on Leonard Cohen !

唐天祐

A nice place to enjoy the art

Jean-Baptiste polle

(Translated) Very disappointing. There was nothing to do as they updated the exhibits but yet they let you in and pay the full price. A scam.. (Original) Très décevant. Il n'y avait rien à voir car ils mettaient à jour les expositions mais pourtant ils vous laissent rentrer et payer le plein prix. Une escroquerie..

Adam Darlow

Incredible exhibit of Rafael Lozano Hemmer's works. It's a small museum but very well curated and with lots of explanation of the artists' intentions and processes.

Elissa Tries

Really nice place, if you go to the museum get their before 3 PM and do looks of walking around. Can't wait to gi back

Cara O'Mahony

Good interactive modern art pieces

Matthieu

(Translated) the museum is not very big and does not have a permanent collection. The quality of the visit therefore depends entirely on the current exposure. (Original) le musée n'est pas très grand et ne possède pas de collection permanente. La qualité de la visite dépend donc entièrement de l'exposition actuel.

Lucien Huang

Great place for human history

Cameron Sandilands

Not the greatest art museum of all time. Costs to get in and the exhibits are minimal. The best part of this museum was outside!

Raquel Arzamendi

Leonard Cohen’s exhibition is a rip off. Not worth it at all. It has almost nothing to do with him. Stay away from it. Is a waste of time and money.

Jean Ménard

Very nice place with different exposure of art.

Simon Gooder

A beautiful space, with hit-or-miss exhibits. Out of the multiple exhibits we explored I only really enjoyed two of them. Admission was $14 per person, which is satisfactory, but its worth a shot if you're into contemporary art. The Museum of Fine Arts provides a little more quality and value than this one, but I'm sure when MAC has a few good exhibits it's worth a couple hours.

K N

Rafael rozendaal was so good,sometimes it’s for free on Wednesday

Grissel Micol

(Translated) Very good!! (Original) Muy bueno!!

Sabreena

Best museum in Montreal!

Jakob “Jack” Brodeur

Everyone was respectful also don't think every piece of art is actually nice but I guess that is for you to decide, the history of each artist is nice.

Laura Meinert

They're not kidding with the "contemporary." It is very much modern art, so if that is not your thing then I wouldn't recommend this. It came for free with the Montreal pass, so it was great to see. I am not a lover of modern art in general, so if I were paying full price I maybe would be not have found it fully worthwhile.

Sylvia Mack

I loved the exhibition on Leonard Cohen!

Sang Phan

Nice museum to spend your afternoon. I wish it was bigger!!

Abbass Shoucair

Really great place to visit. Lots of cool exhibits.

Diba De

Enlightening exhibits and inspiring art.

Abdulrahman Hadid

amazing museum great exhibits, especially the egyptian mummies

Christina Howarditz

The place is famous for a reason, it always pushes the boundaries of the art world.

Lily Precourt

(Translated) Disappointing, $ 10 for a room with ten paintings, uninteresting projections and a dance. I wasn't expecting this for a contemporary art museum, a shame. Big 10 mins to go around $ 20 in all for 2 people absolutely do not recommend! It would be nice to make people aware of the irrelevance of the experiment. (Original) Décevant, 10$ pour une salle avec une dizaine de tableau, des projections pas intéressante et une danse. Je m'attendais pas à ça pour un musée d'art contemporain très dommage. Gros 10 mins pour faire le tour 20$ en tout pour 2 personnes ne recommande absolument pas ! Ce serait bien de mettre les gens au courant de la non pertinence de l'expérience.

Ruben Morales

(Translated) Not worth what they charge .... for 20 minutes of "art" (Original) No vale lo que cobran.... por 20 minutos de "arte"

H Ro

Hyper clean, pleasant service, large seating area, not crammed.

Noé Fonseca

(Translated) Despite being a huge building, the exhibition area is small ... I've been to other museums with the same style and there was a lot to see and interact with ... Still, it's worth the visit to rest your head after many historic museums ... (Original) Apesar de ser um prédio enorme, a área de exposição é pequena... Eu já estive em outros museus com mesmo estilo e havia bastante coisa pra ver e interagir... Ainda assim, compensa a visita pra descansar a cabeça após muitos museus históricos...

Manikantan S

Nothing much to see.. don't waste your time here.

Débora KL

Wonderful museum. We visited during a "nocture" for Leonard Cohen temporary exhibition. Was crowded, but a great experience. The restaurant had special dishes for the occasion, a bit expensive but very tasty.

Ria Pal

Thoughtfully curated exhibits, enormous collection. Can easily spend 3-4 hours here. And the majority of the museum is free!

Hector Murrieta

Good exhibitions, great place.

Skyler O'Donnell

Very beautiful museum.

Debbie Murphy

Great show when I visited. Central location.

George LaRocque

Fantastic!

Alberto Berdecia

Very nice experience. At the time the exposition was about Leonard Cohen.

Cher Igo

Excellent collection of art installations, especially visual/optical effects. The building itself is a bit outdated

Tamara Uribe

Great museum to visit while in MTL.

long branch

Quite an exhibit on Leonard Cohen

Joe MaveSolutions

Amazing

Ozmr D Zurutuza

So so

JJ Junio

This is a relatively small museum dedicated to contemporary Quebec artists and some foreign artists too at times. You can save 50% off the ticket price during Wednesday nights 5-9pm, that would be plenty of time to take in all the exhibits. They also participate during Nuit Blanche and Montreal Museums Day where you can get in for free.

Yu-Han Chiu

Exhibitions are interesting!

Paul R

Permanent collection was closed

Mike Bottreau

Exhibition on Leonard Cohen was fantastic! Content was great, although the museum is a bit on the small side.

Camille Dubé

A lot of interesting themes with a diversity pf artist every 2 or 3 months in contemporary context

Nafnaf

(Translated) Scandalous to pay 7 dollars (and 15 for adults) for two photos and two paintings and an exhibition that can be done in 15min not even. Very very disappointing (Original) Scandaleux de payer 7 dollars ( et 15 pour les adultes) pour deux photos et deux tableaux et une exposition qui peut être faite en 15min meme pas. Très très decevant

Hai Nguyen Van

The permanent exhibition I saw was named "L'oeil et l'esprit", and divided in two parts. One side gathered very interesting unusual photography perspectives. On the other side, Geneviève Cadieux gathered herself different artwork in a very interesting setting. Florence - one the museum's guide - will be pleased to introduce this place to you with a lot of passion !

Furkan ERCAN

Beautiful collections. Decent pricing.

Sheena

A museum to visit if you’re into most modern art that you can also interact with. It’s not as big as the fine arts museum, but the interactions with the art make it seem just as huge.

Kayla Frigault

Such an amazing interactive exhibition

Freddie Kalaitzis

Fascinating exhibition that marries art through technology.

Hongfei Cheng

Absolutely the worst museum I’ve ever visited. Only three temporary exhibitions were included on this autumn Saturday. It took us about 30 minutes to complete all three exhibits, none of which was interesting or invigorating to me. Is this all Montréal can offer to contemporary art lovers?

Marky_marc

Always an interesting visit. Friendly staff.

B Jay

Great experience !

Raphael Ribeiro Freitas

Small museum with poor collection. It does not worth spending your money there. When they are changing exhibitions is even worth. You can literally see only a small room.

ady barel

I must say this is my second time in the museum and I just not impressed by it. It is a very small museum had only two rooms it's more a gallery than a museum of contemporary art. Today the two clerks at the tickets both wasn't pleasant and actually they were the same one as last year and they weren't pleasant last year as well. If you do decide to visit do it in Wednesday evening when it's $9.5.

Laura Trop

Nice and compact museum of modern art. I was really excited about kids play video performance at the temporary exposition.it was touching experience! I would like to visit another exposition at this museum. Lots of cafes and restaurants around this place.

Erik Sundermann

Fantastic museum. Have been here multiple times and have always seen some amazing installations. Price is very reasonable.

Chelsea Patterson

I have been a few times its always good for a laugh. Which means I am enjoying the art, right? Last exhibit I went to they had a video in a darken room with couches. They were playing Sorrow by The National, over and over again in different forms we sat for close to an hour. Now its our song. A lot of the art is interactive, and you are encouraged to sit on the floor and watch a piece. The MAC only gets 4 stars because its rather expensive for a museum its size.

Sara Tavakolian

I like the museum of beaux arts plus!

Jacqueline Kort Mascort

Leonard Cohen exhibition is great! You will need at least 2 hours. I went on Wednesday, it is half price but a bit crowded. If you want to really enjoy the exhibition go another day of the week to avoid lines and waiting. Highly recommended.

Leanne Young

Fun. Interactive. Inspiring. Cool place to go and expand the mind and open yourself to creativity. I would say this is a kid friendly exhibit centre with lots of hands on experiences.

MayMay _

terriable!

Jacky Rizek

Free on Sunday's for Quebecois. I highly recommend it.

Loic Minty

Wow just wow. Talk about bang for the buck eh. For 7$ as a student, 14$ as a grown up you can spend hours discovering new art and having your mind blown. I'm especially impressed by the dimensions and layout of the rooms. You can be in one giant room looking at 1 piece, surrounded by sound.. I love that. Thanks MAC!!

Kévin Printz

(Translated) Museum probably very interesting when all the rooms are open. Unfortunately when we went there they changed the temporary exhibition and many rooms were closed to the public. We were entitled to a reduced admission ticket ($ 5) so that we could visit the museum's few permanent collections. (Original) Musée sans doute très intéressant quand toutes les salles sont ouvertes. Malheureusement quand on y est allé ils changeaient l'exposition temporaire et beaucoup de salles étaient fermées au public. On a eu le droit à un billet d'entrée au tarif réduit (5$) afin de pouvoir visiter les quelques collections permanentes du musée.

mechrorobotocon

Amazingly inspired by the exhibit that they had by RAFAEL LOZANO-HEMMER. There are truly no words.

ZZQ Z

10$ for 5min visit, maybe 20 works to see? The security guys sometimes are more than visitors. I am not sure if there's any ongoing renovation there, but looks like most places are closed. Don't go there recently, waste your time.

Alejandro “Alex” Rodriguez

Amazing place

Brittany Thomas

This was my favorite museum that I saw in Montreal. There were a lot of thought-provoking exhibits. You could spend a good part of the day there. I would definately return and recommend it to others. Lots of bathrooms throughout the museum as well which was very nice.

Nathalie Pedro

Very good Expo this Summer. I am not used to it...

Rodrigo Moreira

(Translated) My favorite museum in Montreal. Each exhibition is a surprising discovery. You will be able to see contemporary art from another angle with the often brilliant curating of exhibitions, very diverse. I really like the facilities and performances planned on the ground floor. (Original) Mon musée préféré de Montréal. Chaque exposition est une découverte surprenante. Vous pourrez voir l'art contemporain d'un autre angle avec le commissariat souvent brillant des expositions, très diversifiées. J'aime beaucoup les installations et performances présetées au rez-de-chaussée.

Anita Labelle

Very Nice exposition. Although I had trouble understanding a lot of them which seemed to be abstract only for the sake of being abstract and 'contemporary'. 2 things were really great though: the lightbulbs and Manifesto by Francoise Sullivan. Those are highly recommended.

Feriel B

Great museum and the staff is really helpful.

Anthony Burns

(Translated) Good but not enough work (Original) Bien mais pas assez d oeuvre

Helena Sy

Good but expensive for regular visits. Great for kids with their guided excursions and workshops.

Félix Hould

(Translated) I especially enjoy my visits to this museum, the Edmund Alleyn retrospective exhibition remains one of my favorite exhibitions to this day. The permanent collection is very interested and exhibits a diversity of works and varied artistic approaches. Also, the offer regarding events and artistic performances is very interesting. (Original) J’apprécie particulièrement mes visites dans ce musée, l’exposition rétrospective Edmund Alleyn reste encore aujourd’hui une de mes expositions préférées. La collection permanente est très intéressée et expose une diversité d’œuvres et d’approche artistiques variées. Aussi, l’offre en ce qui concerne les évènements et les performances artistiques sont très intéressent.

Marc M

I would say it's not a top attraction in Montreal

Jordan Fine

As a Torontonian, most of the contemporary work I see is either at the AGO or individually curated small galleries. It is so refreshing and makes me a bit jealous too. Particularly delightful was the Lozano-Hemmer exhibit. I loved how interactive and immersive it was. A five star experience undoubtedly, and would be my priority art spot for anyone visiting.

Rami A.

Best exhibit I've ever been to in my life! So much engagement with the art

Philippe Côté

Cool museum and the exhibits change regularly. One of the two main art museums in Montreal.

Tom Moncho

Beautiful building, interesting exhibits.

A-Drinker Diary

(Translated) Very nice museum, affordable price. The exhibit on Leonard Cohen was extremely comprehensive. However, there was a lack of information on the halls, the duration of the performances and unfortunately the plays of one person at a time, the wait was more than an hour (on weekends). (Original) Très beau musée, prix abordable. L'exposition sur Leonard Cohen était extrêmement complète. Il manquait cependant d'information sur les salles, la durée des représentations et malheureusement les pièces d'une personne à la fois, l'attente était de plus d'une heure (le fin de semaine).

Mario Landreville

Nice exhibition. Good combinaison between a art and technology.

Bia Pereira

I loved “There is a crack in Everything’s” exhibition. I came from Brazil and it really worthwhile

Rob

Interesting/various expositions as always. I have a 4 year student pass and I love it. It have a nice place outside to study during automn or spring btw.

Petros Bleyan

Interesting...

Philippe LaHaye

Too short...

Ryan Au

There were a few pieces that my partner and I really enjoyed. However, I think most of the pieces relied more on their descriptive placards to tell a story rather than the piece itself.

Eric P

(Translated) Picasso and African art, very nice exhibition. (Original) Picasso et l’art Africain, très belle exposition.

Miranda Harry

MAC is a great place to visit overall, but something unpleasant happened during my visit. There was a guy wandering around in one of the exhibitions

Joe Laichi

For $19 I saw 10 mediocre paintings and 3 boring audio-visual recordings. Super disappointing.

Benjamin Rouffet Roy

(Translated) Super museum, very nice collection (Original) Super musée, très belle collection

Andrew Rudd

The Francis Alÿs exhibit of CHILDRENS GAMES was an encapsulation of the entire human experience in one mind blowingly beautiful room. Could have spent more hours there than we did!

Carl Lizotte

(Translated) The exhibitions are sometimes interesting and generally well furnished. The museum is small, and there is no presentation of the permanent collection. The museum really needs the facelift that will soon be underway in order to offer an experience worthy of the museums of the 21st century. And it is rather expensive for the size of the current museum. A city like Montreal deserves better. The Phi center is worth a thousand times the detour in terms of contemporary art in Montreal. (Original) Les expositions sont parfois intéressantes et généralement bien aménagées. Le musée est petit, et il n'y a pas de présentation de la collection permanente. Le musée a vraiment besoin de la cure de rajeunissement qui se mettra bientôt en branle afin d'offrir une expérience digne des musées du 21e siècle. Et c'est plutôt cher pour la grandeur du musée actuel. Une ville comme Montréal mérite mieux. Le centre Phi vaut mille fois plus le détour au plan de l'art contemporain à Montréal.

Lisa George

Interesting collections. Not a very big museum, but they always have something new and engaging. Easy to access from Place Des Arts metro station, with an underground entrance you can avoid bad winter weather and still get your art fix.

Simon Gagnon

One of my favourite museum

Jasmina Vicentijevic

Nicely curated exhibitions. Great staff.

Arch Kumar

Never dull, always something new.

Ankush Lamba

2 hours max

Scott Bends

Our stop here was meaningful - based on the special exhibit of Rebecca Belmore. I was unaware of her work, and the presentation put forth by the museum was an extraordinary depiction of the emotion, tension and struggle for truth. Unfortunately other parts of the museum were closed for work (not accessible). I’ll gladly visit the museum again to enjoy how they share other meaningful art/artists.

Akiko Minako

Seems to always have an event here and they are truly awesome.

Ross Miriello

Great place to enjoy a relaxing afternoon!

Ella Chedburn

Brilliant modern art, particularly loved the Rafael Lozanno-Hemmer exhibition

Gustavo Ramirez

A must if you like art. Many exposicion change so check the web site.

Liam Morrison

Cool place with really thought-provoking pieces. Good mix of mediums also. Security was ridiculous though I was scolded for pointing at something in one room and then another guard followed me so closely they nearly bumped into me several times.

Jordan van Schaik

Such cool interactive exhibits!

Ivan Josue Naranjo

A great gallery I liked It a lot of lot. Don't forget to visit It. U can get a discount with u college ID.

Actually closed for renovations, the MAC propose great exhibitions in the heart of Montreal

Juliana Barba

(Translated) Great interactive exhibits! Very advantageous student subscription (Original) Super expositions interactives! Abonnement étudiant très avantageux

Camille Arsenault Brideau

(Translated) The exhibition is only one floor. Duration: less than an hour. You have to be able to enjoy several minutes before each work (provided you like contemporary art) to fill an afternoon. The museum is pale against the Museum of Fine Arts. (Original) L'exposition ne fait qu'un étage. Durée: moins d'une heure. Il faut être capable de s'extasier plusieurs minutes devant chaque oeuvre (à condition d'aimer l'art contemporain) pour remplir un après-midi. Le musée fait pâle figure face au musée des Beaux-arts.

Brice Schneider

Nice activity museum and staff... Contemporary art is sometimes challenging

Jose Real

Nice museum, fine place for contemporary art. Good exhibitions.

Mike Wigmore

Was just in time for the exhibition of Leonard Cohen. It was well curated making the whole experience quite emotional. We got in early in the morning but the museum was quickly filled up with exhibition goers.

Alexander

A bit small but... Great galleries. Diverse artforms. Affordable. Well located. Thought provoking. Fun.

Violetta Afanasieva

Casual easy going museum. Relaxing.

Katherine Meng

Saw 2 exhibits by contemporary Canadian artists

A beautiful space to see exhibitions. Friendly admission staff. Half price on Wednesday. It's great that the museum is open until 9 pm three days a week.

Jonathan N.

(Translated) A fascinating place. The institution really manages to make the most innovative in contemporary art accessible to the general public. The only problem is that the museum is so small, especially when compared to the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal ... We want more! :) (Original) Un endroit fascinant. L'institution réussit vraiment à rendre accessible ce qu'il y a de plus novateur dans l'art contemporain au grand public. Le seul hic c'est que le musée est si petit, surtout si on le compare au Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal... On en veut plus! :)

Paul Giovannetti

The Rafael Lozano-Hemmer exhibition is a good show for technophiles. I have yet to see it. Half price on Wednesdays after 5pm.

Renato M Lopes

Leonard Cohen's work is very beautiful...he was a very complex man and this exhibition is excellent.

Jennifer Noseworthy

Thoroughly appreciated the exhibits I was able to see.

Patty Charhut

Nocturne de Nov 9 was quite the experiential evening, full of music, video, art and sculpture. Did not partake of the bevs and small bites but all looked tasty. A bit confusing to get where we wanted to go but everyone was helpful.

Jeremy

It’s really cool how they always have something new on display.

Yehuda Schupper

They should really be more up front that there is indeed only one exhibit. For 20+ CAD there should be more than one...

Alex

There are some great pieces but the exhibition is very small. It was included in my mtl pass so I didn’t have to pay for the ticket but I would have been disappointed otherwise.

JaySun H

Calm and nice atmosphere.

Rapitata

I liked the exposition, just kinda hard to find where to go after Manifesto. I liked that piece of art and mostly the exposition about Françoise Sullivan.

Bich N

It was the exhibit of Julian Rosefeldt and Françoisr Sullivan. Beautiful and open more my mind

Henry Yu

Not a complete fan of contemporary art, but this exhibit was pretty decent, although a bit small for our liking.

Gabie.thefriendlyghost

Very nice museum altough right now they are moving away so there is only one expo open the rest is closed but still worth to check out

Shan

Great place to visits when you’re a tourist. There’s always something new to see !

Mathias Ranft

Surely the museum has seen better times before the pandemic. I think that for safety measures, not all of the museum is open. It has a very little exposition and is kind of disappointing at this point. Not worth going.

Normand Pauzé

(Translated) Visit at the end of March. Cost = $ 15 for person 33 years old. (The price goes with age groups). Measures respected. Me, I have not tripped over what was on display. But I am starting to discover new places. So that's just my personal opinion. (Original) Visiter fin mars. Coût =15$ pour personne 33ans. (Le prix va avec des tranches d âge). Mesures respectées.

Shawn Spicer

Great museum.

Kristin Lieber

Small museum. We stayed for less than an hour. We found about half of the work compelling(not bad) and the work was presented/staged well. There is a better and larger modern art collection at the Museum of Fine Arts.

Claudio Aldaz Casanova

(Translated) Excellent museum of contemporary art in downtown Montreal. The temporary exhibitions are of great quality and more than recommended for all current art lovers (experts, connoisseurs and profanxs). At this time (summer 2019) you cannot visit the permanent collection and therefore I don't know its content. Very friendly staff at all times. (Original) Excelente museo de arte contemporáneo en pleno downtown de Montreal. Las exhibiciones temporales son de gran calidad y más que recomendables para todxs los amantes del arte actual (expertxs, conocedores y profanxs).

(Translated) I had the chance to be present for a show from midnight to 2am and it was a fantastic experience. I salute the instigators of such ideas and congratulate the staff of the evening. The exhibition was perfect in many ways and the context simply plunged me deeper into the artist's work. Bravo. (Original) J'ai eu la chance d'être présent pour une exposition de minuit à 2h am et ce fut une expérience fantastique. Je salut les instigateurs d'une telle idées et félicite le personnel de la soirée.

always love coming here. seems they’ve revived an exhibit i’d seen back in 2015 or 2016 featuring ragnar kjartansson’s collab with the national (one of my all-time fav bands) for july, which was a nice surprise.

if you want the full museum experience visit the website before going otherwise you may be unlucky with exhibit changes closing specific areas

Jia C

Very disappointed visit. All the permanent collection was closed for maintenance, but the cashier was saying there were 3 exhibitions available. However, it is one Rebecca Belmore exhibition and another sound exhibition you need to pay another $12. I only spend 1 hour here. Very disappointed.

A L

There were 20 pieces of art that was being exhibited when we visited. They were under a big renovation and charged us $5 each. I am not sure it’s worth it and even the receptionists warned us it might not worth our time. They were right, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Jan Dos

Adored Julian Rosenfeld Manifesto

Travis Napoli

Waste of time and money. They had very obnoxious, display loud and really very poor taste. The outside of the building was more impressive. The staff was pleasant but it was mostly empty space. Very disappointing, wish we had saved the time.

Isaac Smeele

Good stuff, a little small for the price and some exhibits are a little pretentious at times.

Marcin Woźniak

(Translated) I suggest buying the museum's friends card, you will save by returning to the new exhibitions. The rooms are spacious, the works literally exceed you. It makes you love contemporary art (the name says it ..), otherwise you will be bored pretty quickly. (Original) Je suggère d'acheter la carte des amis du musée, vous économiserez en y retournant aux nouvelles expositions. Les salles sont spacieuses, les oeuvres vous dépassent littéralement. Il fait aimer l'art contemporain (le nom le dit..), sinon vous serez ennuyés assez rapidement.

Maurice Lighting

A pretty nice museum, I like the openess and the amount of art on display, the layout at times is odd, but overall, I'd go again for different exhibits.

Sam Totah (montrealsam)

Educatif! Worth visiting on New Exhibition! Enjoy the novelties!

Virginie Giraud

(Translated) I love this museum but I know how to remain objective. The exhibitions are really qualitative and offer a real dash of modernity. If you know in advance that you are going to go there at least 3 times a year, I recommend the mac pass: it's a good investment because the exhibitions are going quite well, you have discounts on other museums in the city , delivery to the museum shop and above all invitations to openings. There are also workshops offered to children and adults in search of development of their artistic sense or not (not yet tested) The museum is easily visited in 1 hour / 1:30. There are free changing rooms, and a small tea room for a snack. Good visit. (Original) J'adore ce musée mais je sais rester objective. Les expos sont vraiment qualitatives et offrent un réel élan de modernité. Si vous savez par avance que vous allez y aller minimum 3 fois dans l'année, je vous conseille le pass mac : c'est un bon investissement car les expos tournent pas mal, vous avez des remises sur d'autres musées de la ville, remise en boutique du musée et surtout des invitations aux vernissages. Il y a aussi des ateliers proposés aux enfants et aux adultes en quête de développement de leur sens ou non artistique (pas encore testé) Le musée se visite aisément en 1h00/1h30. Il y a vestiaires gratuits, et petit salon de thé pour y prendre une collation. Bonne visite.

Thássia Kadlec

Very interesting!

S M

Incredibly disappointing. The building is large and compelling from the outside, but the inside of the museum is tiny. Although the inside is clean and modern, there is nothing much to see. There were only two exhibits and they were not worth the price at all ($10 per adult). One exhibit was made up of approximately 6 video and sound projects. The other exhibit contained about 12 paintings. There seemed to be lots of closed off rooms and areas in the museum with nothing in them. It was very hard to concentrate on the video and sound projects because of the ambient sounds in the museum and the muddled sounds of the other videos. They really need to work on their sound design and isolation. Half of the videos were quite long, one coming in at approximately an hour, which to me was really boring. The painting exhibit was also, frankly, uninteresting, and the works weren't great. It took about 25 minutes to see the whole place, and that's while stopping to look and read about every single piece, and watching part of each video. Overall it was a waste of time and money.

The art is interesting. It does speak to the town, I felt, as far as I can tell as an American tourist. I thoroughly enjoyed it, although my friends rushed me out a bit. It's suffering from a bit of dilapidation, which is not a concern if you are going there for the inner dialogue. Seeing the lack of funding is a bit sad though.

Nicolas Leygeon

Great expos but a bit small

Emma Amanesha

Great if you like Contemporary Art. Definitely worth the visit. Lots of interesting pieces of Janet Werner :) Loved it ????

Sang

Nice museum to go see contemporary art. It's quite small, so you don't need a whole day, but sometimes you will need more than a day like a past exhibition about Leonard Cohen, it's so much interactive. You can stay in a room for a few hours and relax to the music of Leonard Cohen or watch a documentary about his life, etc...Overall, it is a very beautiful museum and I can't wait to go see the current exhibition with Cate Blanchet!

Omar Quintero

Grace Li

Awful museum. Only 2 small rooms for exhibitions in which you spent less than 1 hour. Also we got warned by safety guard 3 times within 10 minutes for pointing to the work (not touching at all), having a small backpack, and taking a sip of self-prepared water in the corner of the room. Complaint passed. Good luck.

Jason Behrmann

I like to go to the MAC to be entertained. Most of their exhibits are of high quality; however, do your research because the museum splurges a lot of their budget on one to two amazing exhibits per year---go to see these without hesitation. Their permanent collection is small but has amazing pieces by Riopell and a few striking Quebecois works of 1950s minimalism/primitivism that I love.

Sandra D.

I am confused still confused about this museum. Maybe I don't get really art. Entrance is 15$ but not worth it in my opinion.

Skylar Jones

Very poorly done. After entering past the unwelcoming staff you find yourself in a rather dark, unmarked rotunda wondering why it is unkempt, and where you should go. Eventually finding uninteresting exhibits, you wonder what is going on here. I collect Quebec art and I found this terribly disappointing. Big changes need to be made. Big changes. Sorry. Go see the vibrant presentations at the Beaux Arts instead.

Max Smith

Very beautiful museum, can't to see it looks like after the renovation.

Melvin 101

Small museum with interesting audiovisual expositions and paintings. Price goes down after 5:00 pm Friendly and courteous staff

MAC is a great place to visit overall, but something unpleasant happened during my visit. There was a guy wandering around in one of the exhibitions, he looks like a security guard but I don’t really know who he is and I didn’t ask his name. He kept talking to random people, I don’t have a problem with that. But when he came to talk to me, I felt quite uncomfortable cause i found the way he talk to me is kinda rude, like mocking the way I speak, using curse words when talking to a total stranger, and judging what I think about the exhibitions. I don’t know what’s his deal because to me, he was just making random small talk, not really having a specific topic, in an impolite way. We didn’t talk for long since I was more and more irritated by what he was saying to me so I just said I have to go and left. I don’t know, there might be some misunderstandings. I found him kinda rude might because I’m Asian. It might be my own problem since I’m depressed and routinely mess up everything. I really don’t know, but this encounter totally ruined my one of the few alright-days. Thank you stranger. I think I better stay away from people forever.

Mika Harewood-Thompson

Enthralled for hours by the Cate Blanchett exhibit!????????????

If you really love Leonard Cohen and can't stand a moment without him then go, but otherwise be forewarned. It's videos of people applauding at Cohen, a few verses of things he wrote, a hologram of Cohen and videos of interviews with Cohen. In other words: it's stuff you could probably find via google and not really worth the price of admission.

Sindhuja

Waste of time.. no exhibits

YaYa

Small museum, but found many interesting works!

Samad Rahmatullah

Definitely the worst museum I visited during my time here.

Olivier Dallaire-Savard

You need to be able to appreciate art to go to that kind of museum. But if you're like me, you're going to love this place. Nice place and nice expositions.

Julie-Ève Victorine Cloix

(Translated) Provokes contemporary thoughts and critiques of society through the art on display I find it really moving. Without doubt one of the museums that I love the most in Montreal as a queer person :) (Original) Provoque des pensées et critiques contemporaines de la société à travers l'art exposé je trouve ça vraiment émouvant. Sans doute l'un des musées que j'aime le plus à Montréal en tant que personne queer :)

Alexander Weihmayer Hamel

Disapointing very few interesting pieces. Empty rooms with little to see and the pieces lacked any effort or skill, relying on the nonsensical textual description to give them any semblance of value. I would rather have read a longer essay on the artist's thoughts about the topics they profess to represent than waste my time looking at untalented work that lack the ability to convey anything.

Paolo Santini

(Translated) The website did not say that the permanent collection was closed and under construction. I moved for nothing and it cost me a useless parking. Only the temporary exhibition was present, it was minimal (30 minutes and that taking good time on each work) $ 22 + $ 15 parking for 30 minutes ... it's expensive for a family. Please indicate clearly on your website that you are closed. Thank you (Original) Le site web ne disait pas que la collection permanente était fermé et en travaux. Je me suis déplacé pour rien et cela m'a couté un stationnement inutile. Seulement l'exposition temporaire était présente, elle était minime (30 minutes et cela en prenant bien son temps sur chaque oeuvre) 22 $ + 15$ de stationnement pour 30 minutes... c'est dispendieux pour une famille. SVP indiquez le clairement sur votre site web que vous êtes fermé. Merci

Daniel Shusterman

One of the coolest museums in the city.

Georges Younes

This is not a large museum by any measure. I was expecting it to be bigger because of its location in the heart of the city's entertainment district. What it lacks in size, it makes up in originality, playfulness and quirkyness. The exhibits are visually striking, engaging and well displayed. Go there only if you are willing to play along and let yourself become temporarily part of the exhibits.

Felix Archambault

(Translated) I wanted to buy a computer and was advised the Mac. Unfortunately, it is not possible to buy a computer, but the experience is pleasant. The computer skills of the clerks at entry, however, seem limited. (Original) Je voulais acheter un ordinateur et on m'a conseillé le Mac. Malheureusement, il n'est pas possible d'y acheter d'ordinateur, mais l'expérience est somme toute agréable. Les connaissances en informatique des commis à l'entrée me semblent toutefois limitées.

Tyler Haggerty

Nice museum in downtown Montreal. Had the opportunity to see the Leonard Cohen exhibit and it was fantastic! Far too much to see in one afternoon. There was a bit of a wait to get tickets but the line moved quickly. I would assume the same for other popular exhibits. Average museum entrance price but over priced food and gift shop so if you're on a budget look elsewhere for lunch and souvenirs. The museum is within easy walking distance of many of downtown Montreal's tourist hotspots, like the old port, China town, st Laurent, st Catherine's shopping, etc. Also within an easy walk of many food choices. Definitely recommend if you are into art museums.

Alex Capitaneanu

lots of cool temporary exhibitions and events, online booking possible located in downtown montreal

Claire DE CONINCK

(Translated) Pleasant museum rich in varied to astonishing works. Visit within the framework of cultural Sundays! Don't forget your provincial ID for free access, it makes you want to continue! (Original) Musée agréable et riche d'oeuvres variées à étonnantes. Visite dans le cadre dimanches culturels!

The MAC is fantastic, and the ongoing renovation is not detrimental to the experience.

Marta Strzelczak

Very nice temporary exhibitions

Yashpreet Singh

It was really nice to learn something completely new. I myself am not a art lover guy but despite of the fact I enjoyed...

Valentin Ramirez

(Translated) The entrance fee is too expensive for the exhibition presented. At the end of the exhibition we started looking for the rest, but only the free section was left. I regret I bought the ticket, because the most interesting exhibit was in the free part - it's the mechanical piano. For all my friends I will advise not to buy the ticket as it is not worth the cost, while the free section is quite interesting. (Original) Le prix d'entrée est trop cher pour l'exposition présentée. À la fin de l'exposition on a commencé à chercher la suite, mais il ne restait que la section gratuite. Je regrette d'avoir acheté le billet, car l'objet exposé le plus intéressant se trouvait dans la partie gratuite - c'est le piano mécanique. Pour tous mes amis je vais conseiller de ne pas acheter le billet car ça ne vaut pas le coût, tandis que la section gratuite est assez intéressante.

Kaylee Vaillancourt

Hopefully there will be more to see once they have finished their renovations. Quite a high price to pay considering there are only 2 exhibits which each took less than 20 minutes to go through. At this point in time, I would not recommend visiting. It was not worth it based on the lack of any interesting works on display. Disappointing.

Victor López

A lot of respect to Leonard Cohen but the exhibition sucks, really expensive for the worst snob curator, there’s only one hall that matters, hope someone do something and fix it, I feel dissapointed.

K J

Very interesting place, loved the pieces they had on display. The work is very creative and different from regular museums or art galleries.

Lo Seveman

(Translated) Excellent welcome from smiling and lively Joyce, and from all the people at the entrance desk and the cloakroom. The museum is interesting because of the architecture of the central rotunda. The upstairs rooms offer video works, including a remarkable, very rhythmic montage by Nelson Henricks in the last room. In the basement a video on the mistreatment of the African American population ... and upstairs an exhibition of ten large format paintings on the theme "painting nature with a mirror". A beautiful museum located Place des Arts, one of the galleries of the underground Montreal. (Original) Excellent accueil de la part de souriante et sémillante Joyce, et de l'ensemble des personnes du guichet d'entrée et du vestiaire. Le musée est intéressant de par l'architecture de la rotonde centrale. Les salles à l'étage proposent des œuvres en vidéo, dont un remarquable montage très rythmé signé Nelson Henricks dans la dernière salle. Au sous sol une vidéo sur la maltraitance de la population afroamericaine...et a l'étage une expo d'une dizaine de toiles grand format sur le thème "peindre la nature avec un miroir". Un beau musée situé Place des Arts, l'une des galeries du Montreal souterrain.

Ben Viking Cecchini

Sometimes I truly wonder how some of these things end up in a museum. I didn't really enjoy my visit.

Carl Picard

(Translated) The video exhibits left me confused, but the rest of the museum was nice. I would definitely stay there again when there are new exhibitions. (Original) Les expositions vidéos m’ont laissé confus, mais le reste du musée était agréable. J’y retournerais sans hésiter lorsqu’il y aura de nouvelles expositions.

"Lee Young Jun PEN AR" Pen Art(General Remarks) Infinity of lines and dots have symbolism. Such symbolism is ever changing according to the spirit’s depth. All works are kaleidoscopic; they are usually composed of indescribable expressions. Therefore, art’s depth also can be said to be unlimited. Is pen art’s depth also infinite? In other words, do the lines and dots flowing from the nib of a pen have an artistic qualification? In this respect, it is worth thinking deeply. Pen art begins from an essence of nature’s fundamental values. From the standpoint of value, or color, a harmony of black and white is essential in nature. As it is impossible to see any color in darkness, distinguishing color is an essential role of light. That is why the soul is drawn to light. Whiteness, or light is a spiritual reflection of the soul while blackness, or darkness is a reality of life on earth. As the color green is an essential color of vegetation, burnt charcoal is an earthy color that will stay near black. Blackness is heterogeneous and may be hostile to life. If blackness belongs to the essence of nature, it also may be said to represent the image of death. A combination of black and white constitutes degrees of lightness and darkness. When painting black on a white background, the soul is transported to the white background. Whiteness comes to life when contrasted with black line and black space. In this case, soul also may be expressed through the blackness. Soul may be transported to the black or a combination of white and black, which shed a mysterious merit to the soul or spirit. Pen arts starts and ends from an essence of nature’s fundamental contrasts. The primary essence is infinite and eternal while the artistic harmony of black and white can take one’s breath away. But, this is not possible until a metamorphosis has been realized over many years and spiritual transcendence has occurred. The transfer of spirit occurs when one’s life experiences are projected onto the white canvas in harmony with blackness. That is the true ‘pen art.’ Artist Lee Young Jun I am a Korean. I pioneered the " Lee Young Jun Pen Art " and Perfected the genre. I am Artist Lee Young Jun. Pen Art is the only genre is an important work In the world. The works are extremely valuable. And no one is able to work not dare to imitate. The hope my work can be sympathy to many people. Thank you.

Compelling exhibitions of talented artists in Quebec. Should visit by those who want a richer perspective on modern art. For more than twenty years, I have seen compelling exhibitions of art, installations and videos here. Good venue. It's conveniently next to the Montreal Opera.

Jaime Garza

Great expositions

Alain Mercier

Nice museum to see in Montreal downtown,

Carole Perraud

Great experience.

Fogo Labs

Excellent museum. Glad they are expanding it.

Daniel Barahona

It was an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend to go there

Robert O'Dea

Good museum, but it is really small.

Tony C

Seems to always have an event here and they are truly awesome. Lots to see and walk around..... go experience it... there’s plenty of hidden little things which make it beautiful.

Lisa G

(Translated) We could only visit 2 of the 3 exhibitions because we arrived a little late, but they were very interesting, the videos were involved, I really enjoyed the music that ensued for one of them. The paintings were just as fascinating, with certain abstractions allowing you to see everything quite different from your neighbor, free to interpret! (Original) On n'a pu visiter que 2 des 3 expositions car nous sommes arrivées un peu tard, mais elles étaient très intéressantes, les vidéos étaient prenantes, j'ai beaucoup apprécié la musique qui en découlait pour l'une d'entres elles. Les peintures étaient tout aussi fascinantes, certaines abstractions permettant d'y voir tout autre chose que son voisin, libre d'interprétation !

Kishwar Mirza

It was a great place to visit. So much to see

Rachel Green

although it is closing/moving to Plave Ville Marie for renovations, it remains a place to discover new artists. the new acquisitions reveal an interest in native artists, including first Nations and the indigenous people of the north. the lighting is always good, and the insulations are interesting. I'm also very fond of the welcome that one gets in the small museum. as a member, I always feel like I'm coming home.

Ashok Venkatarangam

Beautiful location for a function

André Leclerc

We went for the Leonard Cohen retrospective and were totally engrossed. A fantastic event that is educational and very moving. A great way to remember one of our Montréal and Canadian heroes.

Seems like communist propaganda to me, but ok

Alexandre Migneault

(Translated) Always so amazing, works that criticize, works that amaze, works to open the horizons and see more than the real, the truth.

Unfortunately under renovation until 2020, resulting in reduced exhibition space. Can't wait to see the changes.

Yoann Lussier

(Translated) 20th and 21st century art is at your fingertips when you visit the Museum of Contemporary Art. The rooms are at the cutting edge of technology and are adjusted to absorb the museum's ever-changing collections.

James Brown

(Translated) What a nice place for discoveries. It would be interesting to offer a showcase to Montreal's emerging media arts and visual arts. For example a new artist per month ... (Original) Quel bel endroit pour des découvertes. Il serait intéressant d'offrir une vitrine à la relève de Montréal des arts médiatiques et visuel. Par exemple un nouvel artiste par mois...

Greg Furholter

An interesting museum with varied exhibitions. Some of the items were intriguing (great techniques), but the meaning for some evaded me. Maybe you're not supposed to "get it". The permanent collection was not available at the time, but I would go back to check it out. Easy to find and get to

Julie Wagner

(Translated) One of my favorite museums in MTL. The exhibited works interact with the spectators which makes it all the more interesting. Only one room open during my visit, I don't know if this is normal, I therefore completed the visit in about 1 hour. On Wednesday evening (it seems to me) the prices are half price and if you are a student you have an additional reduction. So I won't complain about a visit that cost me € 4. (Original) L'un de mes musées préférés à MTL. Les œuvres exposées interagissent avec les spectateurs ce qui le rend d'autant plus intéressant. Une seule salle d'ouverte lors de mon passage, je ne sais pas si c'est normal, j'ai par conséquent bouclé la visite en environ 1h. Le mercredi soir (il me semble) les tarifs sont à moitié prix et si vous êtes étudiant vous avez une réduction supplémentaire. Je ne vais donc pas râler pour une visite qui m'a couté 4€.

William S

a must if you like contemporary arts. very cool that they also have the friday nocturnes from time to time.. a night at the museum! very very nice.

J 02

Fantastic!!!

Vlad Senchuk

(Translated) The exposition is not very large, but very high-quality work by contemporary Canadian masters. And a powerful and not transmitted atmosphere! The only drawback, it’s quite difficult to find the museum itself) I advise everyone who loves contemporary art to see ingenious things born in the minds of people! (Original) Экспозиция не очень большая,но очень качественные работы современных канадский мастеров. И мощная и не передаваемая атмосфера! Единственный недостаток,довольно сложно найти сам музей) советую всем,кто любит современное искусство увидеть гениальные вещи рожденные в сознании людей!

Akpene Fred

(Translated) Ok but not enough space devoted to Inuit arts. There should still be discounted student rates. I presented my udem card and no discount was available .. whether for temporary or permanent collections ... hallucinating !!! (Original) Ok mais pas assez d espace consacré aux arts inuits. Il devrait quand même y avoir des tarifs réduits pour étudiant.

(Translated) Very small art museum. Even with the MTL pass, it's a waste of time and money to buy the pass. It is recommended that you check it out, as each exhibition is different. I went to the Olaf Ellison exhibition and was even more disappointed with the small scale. (Original) 매우 작은 규모의 미술관. MTL패스로 봤음에도 시간과 패스를 산 돈이 아까움. 매번 하는 기획전이 다르므로 꼭 확인할 것을 추천함. 올라퍼 엘리어슨 전시회를 해서 갔는데 작은 규모에 더욱더 실망했음.

Lola Ianovski

A very small museum, but the space is really cool (almost an art piece in its own right). Unless any particular piece stops you in your tracks for a while, the whole exhibit can be viewed in well under an hour. Not my favourite of all Montreal museums, but I did find some thought provoking pieces even despite not caring for the conceptual art.

Ella M.

Good enough - Would recommend as its location is great and easily accessible by metro but it's a relatively small museum and some of its exhibits are unimpressive. Since the museum is located downtown, restaurants and shops are nearby so I like to go see an exhibit and stroll down the street to get a coffee and lunch and shop a bit.

Jacques

(Translated) Beautiful landscape with a synchronization of light effects on buildings ???? (Original) Très beau paysage avec une synchronisation des jeux de lumière sur les bâtiment ????

Dorian Hasbroucq

(Translated) Both fun and interesting, the contemporary art museum is full of works. I really liked the fact that the works interact with the viewer. Some lead to a reflection on what surrounds us. Too bad that part was closed. It gives me a reason to come back. (Original) A la fois ludique et intéressant, le musée d'art contemporain regorge d’œuvres. J'ai beaucoup aimé le fait que les œuvres interagissent avec le spectateur. Certaines amène à une réflexion sur ce qui nous entoure. Dommage qu'une partie ait été fermée. Cela me donne une raison de revenir.

Smaller gallery for contemporary art with excellent programming and curation of both Canadian and internationally renowned artists. On this visit, saw Julian Rosenfeldt's Manifesto featuring Cate Blanchett. - Plan for a 1.5-2.5 hr visit. - Extended gallery hours Wed-Fri from 11-9PM (Until Jan 20, 2019.) - Half price admission Wednesday evenings. - The next "Les Nocturne du MAC" Jan 18, 2019. Special all night party with DJ, dance floor, food, and drink from 5PM-2AM. Exhibitions open during this event. Go early to avoid long lines for entry.

Ron Peeler

Outstanding. The Leonard Cohen show very entertaining

Alissa D'amour

(Translated) The MAC presents contemporary art in all its forms; Paintings, sculptures, installations, multimedia, etc. Artists from all walks of life find their place there. The works of Paul-Émile Borduas are among the museum's essentials. There is a permanent exhibition and the temporary exhibition. Entrance fee ($), except for children 12 and under accompanied by an adult. Many activities are organized there. An institution in Montreal. (Original) Le MAC présente de l'art contemporain sous toutes ses formes; Peintures, sculptures, installations, multimédias, etc. Des artistes de tous les horizons y trouvent leur place.

Dean Anthony

I found nearly every exhibit fascinating and it is small enough to see it all without getting sensory overload.

Chris Whiting

You never know what you're going to see here. For the art enthusiast it's worth it.

Meagan Berry

Very disappointing! Would have been disappointed if admission had been free, but for $38 for 2 of us, it was an absolute rip off. Tiny exhibit hall. If Leonard Cohen is your hero, you may enjoy a little. Really nothing else to see except Leonard Cohen exhibit. We went to old Montreal after and saw much more art and art of quality! Would skip the museum and check out the local galleries instead. We couldn't stop talking about how awful the museum was.
