Holidays at the Museum Launch Day

The Museum is throwing open its doors for the launch of its holiday programming, celebrating the traditions that Montrealers hold dear at this time of year meant for sharing and coming together.  

Reconnect with your inner child as you discover or rediscover Ogilvy’s mechanical Christmas window displays, and admire an enchanting dolls’ castle presenting an 18th-century ball.
Guaranteed to amaze!
