Temporary Closing

The Museum has suspended its activities and is closed to the public for major renovations. This restoration work will continue for a period of eighteen months and has been made possible through the financial assistance provided by the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine.

The Museum’s refurbished permanent exhibition is expected to open in May 2010 and will include a revised programme of educational and public activities to be offered to the citizens of the Greater Montreal area and to its visitors.

So I finally got around to see the museum since it underwent renovation work. Nice little old fort. Half of the exhibition space is dedicated to what looks like a permanent installation on the early history of Montreal. Very nice items and great presentations.

Unfortunately the other half is devoted to the history of kitchen appliance design

go figure. An old fort, with something like 4,000 pieces of armament and 4,500 military objects and a large Islamic arms and armour collection in the vaults and they choose to show the history of kitchen design...

At the moment the museum is not worth the price of admission unless you really want to learn something about Montreal (or kitchen appliances). Supposedly a large exhibit of a more martial character is in the works for 2014, but until then...it's kitchen designs.
