\nThe Darling Foundry before its conversion into a multidisciplinary arts space<\/i><\/p>\n

This Sunday is Museum Day, which means that Montrealers will enjoy free access to 29 museums between 9am and 6pm. Here are some highlights that might interest Spacing Montreal readers. Free shuttle buses will run between the museums until 4:30pm; check out the official website<\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n

McCord Museum<\/a><\/b>
\n690 Sherbrooke Street West, McGill metro<\/p>\n

“Simply Montreal,” the McCord’s permanent exhibition, “offers myriad glimpses of this unique city and immerse visitors into the very heart of the rich and varied experience it offers.” If you’ve ever been to the museum, you’ve probably seen it before, but the McCord’s latest temporary show is still worth checking out. “Reveal or conceal?” examines historical perceptions of “modesty and eroticism” in women’s clothing. Like everything at the McCord, it’s undoubtedly Montreal-centric, so it could very well be a nice glimpse at social attitudes throughout the history of this city.<\/p>\n

Canadian Centre for Architecture<\/a><\/b>
\n1920 Baile Street, Guy-Concordia metro<\/p>\n

Tour the CCA’s garden and check out its latest exhibition, “Some Ideas on Living in London and Tokyo”: The first North American presentation of residential projects by Stephen Taylor and Ryue Nishizawa reveals their ideas addressing the challenges of building homes in existing city environments. Due to their scale, extensive built environment, and existing efforts to grow the city from within, London and Tokyo face similar urban development issues but occupy cultural contexts in which themes of proximity, privacy, community, and public space take on different meanings and require distinct solutions.<\/i><\/p>\n

Centre d’histoire de Montr\u00e9al<\/a><\/b>
\n335 Place d’Youville, Square-Victoria metro<\/p>\n

Along with the Centre d’histoire’s permanent exhibition on the history of Montreal, you’ll be able to see “Qui a mis le feu \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al?” about the 1734 trial and execution of Ang\u00e9lique, a black slave who was accused of starting a fire that destroyed H\u00f4tel Dieu and 40 houses. You can also take a look at “Montr\u00e9al industriel,” an exhibition of photos documenting Montreal’s industrial landscape, as well “Le Vieux-Montr\u00e9al revisit\u00e9,” a collection of photos depicting Old Montreal in a new light. <\/p>\n

\u00c9co-mus\u00e9e du fier monde<\/a><\/b>
\n2050 Amherst Street, Beaudry or Berri-UQAM metro<\/p>\n

The location alone of this small museum, in one of Montreal’s old public bathhouses, makes it worth a visit. But its exhibition on working-class life in the neighbourhoods of Centre-Sud is pretty interesting, too, especially if you follow it with a stroll through the surrounding streets. <\/p>\n

Darling Foundry<\/a><\/b>
\n745 Ottawa Street, Square-Victoria metro<\/p>\n

Currently showing at the Darling Foundry is “Sugar Carpet,” by Aude Moreau. It’s a “perishable installation in refined, white sugar, uses food as the raw material of the art object, transferring it to an architectural space through a game of role-reversal. This installation creates a confrontation between an industrial space and the modern comfort traditionally associated with carpets, ‘edible’ material, and the pollution produced by metallurgy.” Beyond that, it’s great fun just to visit the old foundry, which has been successfully converted into an arts space without losing the texture of its industrial past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
