THE MONTREAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS REVIEWS
Good museum! The coverage of art from Gothic through Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and Impressionism is nicely done. The selection is good, although few notable pieces in the collection. There are then some interesting additional fine arts and contemporary exhibitions. In particular, the current exhibition on voice was excellent, especially the final room with choir voices. The building is also very impressive, with some lovely window spaces having great views across downtown Montreal.
A beautiful museum full of all kinds of art from all eras of human history. Definitely worth a trip if you're visiting the city. It's a mainstay for school trips and family outings in Montreal, for good reason. The museum also holds lots of activities for artists aged 1-100.
Spent almost 5 hours wondering around this place. It’s one of my top favourite museums around the world. I loved the exhibitions going on and the variety of art. The seating and couches throughout was amazing. So inviting and they want you to sit and contemplate the art. I love it. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back soon because I didn’t even get to see it all.

STATION 16 GALLERY REVIEWS
I have purchased several pieces of art from this gallery and the service is fantastic, the selection changes frequently and the range of price points speaks to a large group of buyers which can help to build a collection over time no matter what your budget is. The Gallery works with amazing artists and organizes and partners on many great projects for the Montreal community which is another great incentive to support them! I have recently relocated to Ottawa and have purchased a few pieces online and their art was shipped very carefully and I would definitely recommend it to out of town buyers.
The street art around St Laurent Blvd is quite beautiful. We parked our car along the street for 2 hours and strolled around the streets admiring all the amazing art we could see. The locals were especially helpful when we sought exact locations of particular Murals. Must do on your visit to Montreal.
Awesome local gallery. Amazing staff on hand. Whether you're buying a piece of art or just sightseeing it's worth the stop.

FONDATION PHI POUR L’ART CONTEMPORAIN REVIEWS
An art gallery that is worth the visit. Unique and intriguing art pieces. There was an excellent selection of pieces that although had no description attached, we had a tour guide named Jay who made the experience memorable. He explained things with a passion sometimes absent from tour guides and went above and beyond to create an immersive experience. As one who has always been skeptical about modern art, Jay was wonderful in finally convincing me to appreciate it. Overall, it was a worthwhile visit that I would recommend, as it is a completely free exhibit in exchange for a priceless experience.
If you're someone who likes contemporary or modern art, Foundation PHI is a must visit when in Montreal. Located in Old Montreal, it is easy to find and access. All exhibits were interesting and thoughtfully curated. Note that tickets must be booked in advance. While exploring we had the whole place to ourselves and were able to just wander and take it at our own pace.
Beautiful and engaging exposition about the work of artist Phil Collins (not the drummer). I loved this installation especially, the atmosphere in the cabins was very intimate and soothing and the music very good.
