The McCord Stewart Museum and the Fashion Museum merged in 2017. As the Fashion Museum building no longer exists, we showcase its rich collection when developing our fashion-themed exhibitions.

Announced in April 2019, the new museum project is an initiative to bring together the collections of three institutions under one roof: the McCord Museum, the Stewart Museum and the Fashion Museum. This new establishment, located downtown, will provide Montreal with a major new social history museum, a city museum with a historical collection that is unique in the country and one of the largest in North America.

You can obtain a refund for your membership under certain conditions. Contact us by phone at 514-861-6701, ext. 1202.
