This is a museum on the McGill campus that showcases a variety of different items like rocks,…read morefossils, animals, etc. There is an entrance fee by donation. The museum itself is quite small (only 3 levels) and took me less than 1 hour to go through it. The architecture is quite interesting as the building is quite old (the museum opened in 1882!) Overall, a pretty interesting museum. It's not super modern obviously, but showcases some interesting things.

I had a great time looking at the exhibits and not feeling rushed or crowded. I took about an hour and a half to explore but you could easily spend an hour longer if you were to read through every description. It is free but there is a suggested donation (of any amount) if you wish.

Everything is so fun to look at and read and learn, the views at the top are also very nice with comfortable couches to just sit relax and enjoy. I loved reading about the history of the building as well as walking through the small garden area. What's also nice about this place is that there isn't many people so you can enjoy at a leisure pace and peacefully. This is an instant add to my list of recommendations for people visiting the city.

Super unique museum built right on the original ruins of Montreal!…read more The history exhibits and colorful illustrations are great, but the interactive pirate ship room is an absolute must-see. Also, I didn't think it was possible, but their illuminated exhibit on the city sewer system is probably the coolest thing ever. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Canada!

April 4, 2024. Would you visit a museum of archeology and ancient ruins?…read more Museum built on the ruins of the original settlement of Montreal, including excavation of the foundations, which I skipped over for the most part. We came to see the history of the city from the very beginning through paintings, drawings, colorful illustrations, and multimedia of the settlers meeting the native Indians, and conflicts through the ages. Covered not only the first nations, but the war between France and Britian over control of Quebec. The pirate room showed a hands on deck experience onboard a pirate ship, with cannons ready to fire, people strung up in punishment cages, and sailers fighting ontop of ship rigging. Didn't know there were pirates off the coast of Canada in 1600s and 1700s. I didn't think it was possible, but probably the most interesting lighted exhibit anywhere on a city sewer system.

It will be my pleasure to update this review at some future date, several years from now…read more As a fan of contemporary art I was looking forward to this museum only to learn - too late - that it's under renovation for the next couple of years. The site I was directed to (in Montreal's underground mall) is a tiny sample of their usual offering, so small in fact, that paying anything to enter struck me as an utter money grab. (My entry fee was waived as I had the Passport MTL). Even with essentially free admission for me, what was on view here was less than compelling and I had to work hard to engage my interest. My recommendation is to wait until they're back in their permanent home. Finding this place wasn't worth the time it took but, of course, I thought I was headed to the real deal, not a temporary exhibit.

I visited the MAC Montreal a few weeks ago when I was visiting the city on a solo trip. The museum…read moreis small and in a temporary location at Place Ville Marie (it's moving and its permanent location is under construction). So it has one small exhibit at a time. When I visited, the exhibit was "femmes volcans forêts torrents,) an exhibit featuring nine woman artists whose works relate to the environment, ecosystems, environmentalism, etc. I'm not sure I would have gotten much out of the exhibit or spent as much time at the museum except that they offer a free walking tour of the exhibit if you enter at the right time (included with the price you pay to visit; the museum is not free). The guide was wonderful and really helped me to have a better interaction with the pieces. I highly recommend taking them up on their offer of a tour if you have the time! Overall, very small and the temporary location is strange, but it can be very interesting if you're interested in contemporary art or if you're interested in the exhibit at the time you visit!

Jardin Bontanique de Montreal is pretty big and has a lot of different exhibits that you can go and see. I loved seeing the different flowers as well the waterfall. I honestly thought that I would get to see something that would make me say "WOW," but I didn't get that. I'm not sure if I would revisit it; however it's nice for what it is.
