International Art Collection
FREE PUBLIC VISIT OF THE PAVILION:
November 19, 2016 - January 15, 2017
The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts' new Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion for Peace was built to house the major donation of Old Master paintings gifted to the MMFA by the late Michal and Renata Hornstein. To build the pavilion, the government of Quebec has given the Museum a special grant.
A COLLECTION OF INTERNATIONAL ART UNIQUE IN QUEBEC
The new pavilion has allowed the Museum to display its collections of international fine arts on a grand scale. A new continuous narrative explains logically the major periods of the history of art from the medieval period to the year 2000. Four floors of galleries, totalling an exhibition space of 2,350 square feet, made it possible to present some 750 works. In addition to works from the Museum's collection, among them recent acquisitions and restored works, there are on display 100 paintings donated to the Museum by the Hornsteins over the course of their life, as well as many pieces on loan to the MMFA for the Montreal's 375th anniversary.
It is suggested visitors take an elevator to the Level 4 and then descend by staircase to the subsequent lower levels. All together there are 4 levels with the works of art, in addition to the ground floor and the lower level dedicated to the educational workshops. All together their are 6 levels in this pavilion.
