MONTREAL - POINTS OF VIEW PERMANENT EXHIBITION, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011, TO JANUARY 22, 2017

Montreal - Points of View explored 10 facets of Montreal’s history, from its earliest residents (before the arrival of Europeans) to the city of today with its metro and skyscrapers. Visitors were invited to discover iconic districts, pivotal moments in the city’s history, and the people who marked its development. The exhibition made use of new media, incorporating touch screens, listening stations and podcasts that provided visitors with access to additional content on some of the objects on display. In short, it offered a contemporary look at a fascinating multi-faceted city.

WEARING OUR IDENTITY. THE FIRST PEOPLES COLLECTION PERMANENT EXHIBITION – SINCE MAY 2013

Created in a close partnership with First Nations communities, this exhibition invites visitors to reflect on clothing as a means of identity affirmation. For the First Nations, Métis and Inuit, dress does not serve solely utilitarian purposes; it also helps quickly differentiate between allies and enemies and keep the latter at bay, demonstrate the power of spiritual leaders like shamans and, in the case of finely decorated clothing, express the respect that hunters have for the animals that enable their families to survive. A major symbol of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit, clothing contributes to the development, preservation and communication of their social, cultural, political and spiritual identities. Contemporary works are added to the exhibition on a regular basis. Chosen by curator Nadia Myre, a member of the Algonquin Nation in the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg community, these works enable First Peoples to demonstrate their desire to preserve and revive their ancestral cultural values; this year, artist EXHIBITIONS Hannah Claus presented works of identity art.

RECORD-BREAKING ATTENDANCE FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW The McCord Stewart Museum experienced exceptional growth in 2016-2017. The McCord Museum attracted a record number of 200,000 visitors, an increase of 25% over last year, while the Stewart Museum welcomed over 36,000 visitors, or a jump of 46%, due, in part, to traffic from the Osheaga Festival. Both museums surpassed their annual attendance goals.

DRAMATIC INCREASE IN REVENUES Ongoing efforts throughout the year to increase self-generated revenues produced impressive results. The average revenue per visitor to the McCord Museum nearly doubled and all types of revenue rose markedly: +59% for ticket sales, +158% for the McCord After Hours, +86% for memberships, +22% for the boutique, +25% for room rentals and +13% for sponsorships. At the Stewart Museum, ticket revenues remained stable, but sales at the boutique rose 35%. All of these revenue sources, combined, generated upwards of $1.44 million for the Museum, or an increase of nearly $400,000 (37%) over last year’s performance.

EXPLOSIVE GROWTH IN MEMBERSHIP The number of Museum members rose exponentially in 2016-2017, from 2,000 to over 5,000, or a jump of over 150%. This spectacular growth can be explained by the Museum’s growing reputation and its new strategy launched in the winter of 2016 to recruit and retain members.

COMMUNICATIONS The exhibitions Eleganza, Notman: A Visionary Photographer and Curiosities were the top three reasons behind the Museum’s attendance figures. The first two were so popular they surpassed their respective attendance targets, while Curiosities reached its target. To increase the visibility of these exhibitions, the Museum launched major communication campaigns that made use of dramatic visuals and innovative initiatives like participation in the global Inside Out project (Notman exhibition) and the In MARKETING Praise of Collectors contest (Curiosities exhibition).
