Always interesting things to see at Musee des Beaux Arts de Montreal. 2 huge pavilions spanning Sherbrooke St. with a variety of art (and art forms) for all tastes. \n\nThe problem is that IT IS NO LONGER FREE to access the permanent collection, unless you're under 30 years old. Bizarre. Those of us who are born too long ago have to pay to get in now. Be sure to check the site before going.. Recent change.
