Metro Guy-Concordia or Bus 24 The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal) is the grande dame of the Canadian museum world. Founded in 1860, the original pavilion, shown at right - now known as the Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion - dates from 1912, and the Jean-Noêl Desmarais pavilion, facing it across Sherbrooke St., a Moshe Safdie design, from 1991. The pavilions are connected by an underground passage. The museum has a large collection of decorative and ethnographic objects, 19th-century paintings, and Canadian paintings, prints and drawings, only a small fraction of which can be displayed at a time. It also hosts major travelling shows. Café and boutique on the premises. Admission to the permanent displays is free. |  | | | | | Musée d'art contemporain 185 Ste-Catherine West - 514-847-6626

Musée d'archéologie Pointe-à-Callière, 350 Place Royale - 514-872-9150
Metro Place d'Armes or Square-Victoria The Centre d'histoire de Montréal, shown at left, built inside the old fire hall on Place Youville, is a deliberately tactile and multimedia experience of what Montreal has been like at different eras of its history - elements like lamp posts, fireboxes, a streetcar ride, are brought together to give a sense of the layered history of the city. Place Royale, home of the Pointe-à-Callière museum, shown at right, is the location of the very first European settlement in Montreal. The museum includes the 1992 building in the photo as well as several others nearby, including the old Customs House on the square. A visit to the museum includes a 20-minute multimedia presentation encapsulating Montreal's history, and a visit to the archaeological dig beneath the museum, which goes back to the very origins of the city. Temporary exhibits are headlined from time to time. These two museums are a five-minute walk from each other along beautifully landscaped Place Youville, where you can also see the granite obelisk dating from 1894 that honours the city's founders. |  |  | | | | | | Additional historical museums in Montreal include: The McCord Museum of Canadian History, 690 Sherbrooke West - 514-398-7100
