We had a really fun brief stop here on our way from coming down Mont Royal and into downtown during a midweek November visit. A bit tricky to find as a pedestrian, but a very cool building and that 2nd floor rotunda is worth the trip itself. Some of the exhibits are definitely a bit dated/tattered at this point, but there are some that are really striking as well. it does underline how this area of museum tending/exhibit creation is a diminished art these days, and seems like a renovation of this space would create a really cool opportunity for the school itself, in that you could develop a minor around the topic, bring in rotating experts for ~6 week residencies and build a cool program while giving this the facelift it deserves. The articulated skeletons are particularly neat. There is also a wee gift shop downstairs, and the friendly gal actually offered to send my postcard to the USA for me - cool. Hours are a little tough to fit into a Montreal tour, but if you are nearby, interested and it is open - its definitely worth a stop.
