I am not a museum person and I don't often pretend to be; however travelling with someone who was interested in looking at art I compromised and agreed to check it out.\n\nAdmission is by donation - be generous to keep the arts alive. I was impressed by the relic collections from numerous civilizations, the furniture display. Yes, they have paintings on the wall and some are lovely - but I was much more captured and actually enjoyed the other installations.\n\nI also spent a good amount of time in the Imagine Exhibition (John Lennon and Yoko Ono). I wasn't aware of Yoko's contributions to this museum and her living installations (hammering nails into a block, nails and hammer provided, as well as the wish trees) were incredibly interesting - and the thrill of my visit was seeing John Lennon's piano.\n\nSo kudos to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts - as someone who \"doesn't get it\" and have self imposed a museum ban typically I throughly enjoyed my afternoon there.
