Really enjoyed this museum of fine arts during my tour of Montreal. First off, it's free. That is unless you want to see one of the special exhibits. It was $15 to see the "We Want Miles" Miles Davis exhibit. No worries at all on that. Money well spent. It was a big exhibit that plays videos and sound clips all throughout as you progressed through the growth and times of this legendary jazzman. As with every museum exploration I have, I learned something too. While I knew that Miles went through his junkie phase, I did not know that he jammed with the Grateful Dead. How about that? Lots of cool trumpets, pictures, posters and paintings all around. Who knew Miles was so talented with a brush too?
As for the rest of the museum, eh. Very few pieces from the impressionists and a lot of weird modern art. The cannibal monkeys and the pics of people plunging to their death from the twin towers were a bit much. And what is up with the tiny stairs? Everyone walking around seemed full scale.
