We are thrilled that some of the restrictions mandated by the Quebec government in January have been lifted. We still have a curfew to respect between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m., however, shopping malls have reopened as well as hairdressers, day spas, libraries and museums! We are so happy that our students can now experience all the wonderful museums this city has to offer! Some of our favourites include the Science Center, the Redpath Museum and the Fine Arts Museum. Montreal’s Museum of Fine Arts is located just a few blocks away from EC Montreal and the best part is the permanent collection is always free!
You can start booking your tickets online as of February 9. Visitors will be able to check out the following four exhibitions:
– Riopelle: The Call of Northern Landscapes and Indigenous Cultures
– GRAFIK! Five Centuries of German and Austrian Graphics
– Manuel Mathieu: Survivance
– Yehouda Chaki: Mi Makir; A Search for the Missing
The museum is located at 1380 Sherbrooke Street West and is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Redpath Museum is located on the McGill campus and is also free, well sort of, all they ask is that you leave a donation in the amount you are most comfortable with. If you are into dinosaurs, you are going to love this museum.
Another free museum is located in the Cours Mont-Royal shopping mall, is the Barbie Museum. It is really cool and showcases all the barbies throughout the years. They are beautifully displayed and offer a nice break from your shopping.
We hope you will get out there and experience a little bit more of Montreal now that you can! Please remember to always avoid crowds, wear a mask and wash your hands regularly. Staying safe is the most important thing!
