This museum is well worth a visit for anyone in Montreal and not just cause it is free (other than the temporary exhibits which charge an admission fee) but because I found it a nice place to wander around especially when you want to escape the weather outside. The Museum is made up of three buildings linked together by an underground passage (the only entrance is through the building with the red heart sculpture out the front). The main building is the biggest building and has exhibits on European religious art to contemporary art as well as a cafeteria that looks more like a fancy restaurant. Across the street in the other two buildings is one made up mainly of Canadian indigenous people art and the other building had fine art furniture and things. I have visited here three times seeing a different building each time cause art can be a little overwhelming but you could easily spend a couple of hrs here wandering around and much longer if you pay for the temporary exhibits. Make sure you take a look at the sculptures and things outside the buildings too because they are also worth a look.
Worth a visit by everyone.
