Recognition Cocktail

A look back at the 2025 edition

A Generous Evening of Emotion and Appreciation

Our traditional Recognition Cocktail was held at the Museum on June 12, in a most convivial atmosphere.

This 16th edition brought together over a hundred guests, who had the pleasure of engaging with our curatorial and conservation specialists, whose passion for the Museum’s collections brought to life the objects displayed in the Theatre’s ephemeral showcase. This special moment was an opportunity to discover an exclusive selection of our recent acquisitions.

We also had the privilege of presenting our Premier Partner sponsorship program, structured around five strategic pillars, including the Montreal Stories, highlighted on this evening with our partner Power Corporation of Canada — a trusted ally that has supported the Museum with dedication for over 35 years.

We were deeply touched by the presence and commitment of those who generously support the Museum’s mission. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to our donors and volunteers for their exceptional contributions and unwavering loyalty.

Through the generous support of individuals, private foundations and corporations, the McCord Stewart Museum has been able to facilitate the following initiatives:

• The preservation and promotion of its rich and internationally recognized collections
• Tell stories of Montreal, Quebec, and Canada through educational programs and exhibitions
• Support rigorous research and publication on the part of our highly trained curatorial teams

The Recognition Cocktail is an exclusive evening where guests were invited to chat with our curatorial and conservation staff to discover which objects from the McCord Stewart Museum’s collections and archives are this year’s favourites.
