  • MONTREAL to WELCOME a NEW CITY MUSEUM Major Benefactor Donates $15 Million
    MONTREAL TO WELCOME A NEW CITY MUSEUM Major benefactor donates $15 million Montreal, April 30, 2019 - The McCord Stewart Museum is proud to announce that its planned new museum will be located in the heart of downtown Montreal. The new establishment will expand the McCord Museum’s current site by building on Victoria Street, which runs along the west side of the Museum, and the lot housing the former Caveau restaurant on President Kennedy Avenue. The combined area of these sites will enable the museum to meet its needs for additional space and create an institution that will leave its mark on Montreal’s urban and cultural landscape. Working closely with the City of Montreal, which is granting the right to build on Victoria Street, the Museum selected the site after conducting a feasibility study. The new building will house three recently merged museums—the McCord Museum, the Stewart Museum and the Fashion Museum—under a single roof. This legacy project will create a world-class institution for generations of Montrealers. «Our administration believes that it is important to build this new museum. It will be a major attraction for our city and a source of pride for all Montrealers. We are pleased to be able to help advance the project by granting the right to use Victoria Street, so that this cultural space may continue to attract visitors, both locals and tourists, in the heart of the city’s downtown museum district,» declared Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante. New museum to receive historic donation The McCord Stewart Museum also announced that La Fondation Emmanuelle Gattuso had pledged to donate the extraordinary sum of $15 million towards the project.

  • Visions of Canada: Photographs and History in a Museum, 1921-1967
    Visions of Canada: Photographs and History in a Museum, 1921-1967 Heather McNabb A Thesis In the Department of History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada May 2015 © Heather McNabb 2015 ii iii ABSTRACT Visions of Canada: Photographs and History in a Museum, 1921-1967 Heather McNabb, PhD. Concordia University, 2015 This dissertation is an exploration of the changing role of photographs used in the dissemination of history by a twentieth-century Canadian history museum. Based on archival research, the study focuses on some of the changes that occurred in museum practice over four and a half decades at Montreal’s McCord Museum. The McCord was in many ways typical of other small history museums of its time, and this work illuminates some of the transformations undergone by other similar organizations in an era of professionalization of many fields, including those of academic and public history. Much has been written in recent scholarly literature on the subject of photographs and the past. Many of these works, however, have tended to examine the original context in which the photographic material was taken, as well as its initial use(s). Instead, this study takes as its starting point the way in which historic photographs were employed over time, after they had arrived within the space of the museum. Archival research for this dissertation suggests that photographs, initially considered useful primarily for reference purposes at the McCord Museum in the early twentieth century, gradually gained acceptance as historical objects to be exhibited in their own right, depicting specific moments from the past to visitors.

  • Welcome to the Student Survival Guide
    Welcome to the Student Survival Guide Various generations of Art History and Communications students have over the years assembled and refined this guide to help new students get acquainted with the city and smooth their transition to a new institution. We update this every few years to include things we have learned about negotiating this fair city of ours. For those more familiar with the city, we hope it’s a nice diversion for you nonetheless. This “Student Survival Guide” contains some of the things we wished someone had told us early on in our tenure. It was produced completely by Art History and Communications students and is totally biased to the tastes and travels of the individuals involved. We hope you find it useful and fun to read and consider what might be missing so you can add your own pearls of wisdom when the time comes around in another year or so. Cheers!

This transaction signals renewed confidence in the office tower market and strengthens Groupe Petra/MACH’s leadership position in downtown Montreal. “The acquisition of this flagship property is a tremendous source of pride for the Groupe Petra/MACH joint venture,” said Patrice Bourbonnais, President and Chief Operating Officer of Groupe Petra. “Adding 1000 De La Gauchetière to our portfolio will reinforce our status as a key player in the Montreal commercial real estate market. It speaks to our determination to make an active contribution to the vitality of the downtown core and the success of the businesses that operate here.” “Le 1000 is a huge plus for our portfolio, given the premium quality of the property and its tenant roster,” said MACH President Vincent Chiara. “We are very proud to contribute to Montreal’s economic growth by making sure this central business district landmark stays in Quebec hands. Working closely with our partners at Groupe Petra, we will strive to uphold the tradition of prestige, performance and quality that Le 1000 is known for.” The 51-storey, 205-metre-high (673-foot-high) tower is an integral part of the Montreal skyline and one of Canada’s most prominent business addresses. Its iconic beauty and sophistication inspire tenants to excellence, and its full range of services and amenities creates an environment conducive to their prosperity.
