About the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts: “The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal) is the grande dame of the Canadian museum world. Founded in 1860, the original pavilion, shown above at left – now known as the Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion – dates from 1912, and the Jean-Noël Desmarais pavilion, facing it across Sherbrooke St., a Moshe Safdie design, from 1991. The pavilions are connected by an underground passage. A new pavilion is currently being constructed inside the old Erskine and American Church which adjoins the museum.
The museum has a large collection of decorative and ethnographic objects, 19th-century paintings, and Canadian paintings, prints and drawings, only a small fraction of which can be displayed at a time. It also hosts major travelling shows.” (www.montreal.com)

One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sclupture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore.
