  2010-04-24-2010-10-03

  The Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, a proud partner in the event Montréal City of Glass, will offer an innovative look at its Permanent Collection in a dazzling new exhibition.
  
  The exhibition With Glass, Under Glass, Without Glass will comprise a dozen major works chosen from the Collection of the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal and produced by nine different artists.

• Yesterday’s Tomorrows

  2010-05-21-2010-09-06

  Why have so many contemporary artists returned in recent years to the forms, ideas and aspirations of Modernist architecture and design?
  
  This question lies at the heart of Yesterday’s Tomorrows, an exhibition that brings together works by ten Canadian and international artists who examine Modernism by establishing a discursive dialogue with a particular Modernist designer or monument.
