Although Although the official announcement was made on April 30, one month after the end of our fiscal year, I feel it is important to note that our planned new museum will indeed be built, in the heart of downtown. Constructed on the McCord Museum’s current site, it will also include Victoria Street, which runs along the west side of the Museum, and the lot housing the former Caveau restaurant on President such a remarkable city.

President and Chief Executive Officer has noted in her message. With record attendance at both museums, exhibitions that are critical and popular successes, significant contributions to scientific research, awards and honours, we can safely state that the year 2018-2019 was one of the most stimulating in the Museum’s history and one of the most momentous for its future. Without the unwavering support of the various levels of government, a cultural insti- tution like the McCord Stewart Museum could not pursue its mission to preserve, transmit and enrich the cultures that make Montreal

Gabor Szilasi – The Art World in Montreal, 1960–1980 December 7, 2017, to April 29, 2018

As part of its mandate to feature the best in documentary photography from here and abroad, the McCord Museum presented an exhibition of 43 unpublished black and white photographs from the personal collection of Gabor Szilasi. Taken at exhibition openings and other artistic events held in Montreal between 1960 and 1980, the selected photographs were presented in chronological order and immortalized the faces, places and vitality of Montreal’s art scene at a time of social and cultural upheaval. Shot in a spontaneous documentary style, they captured the art scene during a period when art was coming into its own in Quebec. Although Gabor Szilasi is one of Quebec’s best-known living photographers, this significant portion of his work had never been exhibited before.

Shalom Montreal Stories and Contributions of the Jewish Community May 3 to November 11, 2018

This exhibition highlighted how the Jewish community participated in the city’s growth and development during the 20th century. It fea- tured remarkable achievements in a variety of sectors—architecture, heritage preservation, health and science, human rights, business, the arts and culture—that have benefited, and continue to benefit, all Montrealers. Shalom is a word that symbolizes openness and friendship. The history of Montreal’s Jewish community reflects the strength of its traditions and centuries-old roots here. Nourished by a fertile cultural and intellectual climate, its many significant achievements attest to a desire to work together and help one another.
