Equipped with stained glass and reflectors that play with nocturnal light, this huge sculpture caps the urban redevelopment of the intersection. It offers a bold represen- tation of the flowing vehicular activity in the area. BGL was chosen after an extensive competi- tion launched across Canada. Their approach is tied to social and environmental concerns, in a way that gets people to form new perspectives on their environment. As a brilliant sculpture illuminating the north of the city, this installation represents a crowning achievement for BGL. photo : Bonnalie Brodeur 2 p Les 7 doigts u on the Main! storing storing photo : Bureau du design de la Ville de Montréal of The art photo : les 7 doigts de la main After spending years on the move, Les 7 doigts de la main, Boulangerie Guillaume, the boutiques Mylène B a circus arts company, will soon be established in the old Just and Cahier d’Exercices, the bars Furco and Mimi For Laughs Museum, on Saint-Laurent boulevard.

  • The Montreal Forum: the Final Season?
    Palimpsest III: The Dialectics of Montreal’s Public Spaces Department of Art History, Concordia University The Montreal Forum: The Final Season? Rob Coles September 2010 Cynthia I. Hammond, ed. Palimpsest III: The Dialectics of Montreal’s Public Spaces Coles 1 As a site of identity for the multiple affiliations of the people of Montreal, the Montreal Forum represents much more than a hockey arena. Between 1924 and 1996, the Forum hosted thousands of events, from professional hockey, to rock concerts, circus performances, religious gatherings, professional wrestling and events of the 1976 Summer Olympics. In 1996 the Montreal Canadiens Hockey Club, the main occupants of the site, moved from the Forum to the Molson (now Bell) Centre. After the departure of the Canadiens was announced, many Montreal residents feared that the Forum would be destroyed. A huge public outcry to save the building ensued. The Forum was ultimately saved and transformed into an entertainment complex called the Pepsi Forum that incorporated some memorabilia from the site’s history into its design. With this attempt to keep the local affect of the Forum alive in mind, this essay asks why so many were opposed to the demolition of the Forum? Was the adaptive re-use of the Forum successful in capturing the essential and important aspects of the building for its fans? The Montreal Forum was a key site of expression and identity in Montreal not only for supporters of the Canadiens hockey team. For the city’s francophone population and fans of popular music, the Forum was also important. As this essay demonstrates, while the Pepsi Forum includes memorabilia in its interior design, important connections between the Forum and the rise of Quebec nationalism are only summarily represented, as is the impact of the Forum as a key music venue in Montreal; the “Forum Gallery”, a small museum located on the second floor of the building, is out of the view and spatial experience of most visitors today.

  • 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.

    Downtown Montreal: A Major Metropolitan Development Issue Brief of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal Concerning the Vocation of Downtown Montreal Commission du développement économique et du Centre des affaires September 2003 A brief description of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal boasts some 7,000 members. Its primary mission is to represent the interests of the Greater Montreal business community and to play an active and responsible role in promoting the economic development of the urban agglomeration. Bolstered by its three specialized service branches (Info entreprises, the Electronic Commerce Institute and World Trade Centre Montréal) serving merchants and businesses of all sizes across Quebec, the Board of Trade is the largest private organization in Quebec dedicated to economic development. Introduction Strategic planning for downtown development: a critical issue for the economic development of metropolitan Montreal The Board of Trade is pleased to respond to the invitation of the Commission du développement économique et du Centre des affaires to share its thoughts and outlook on the development of Montreal’s Business district.
