Located just east of St. Catherine Street, the city's main drag for shopping, this is where to find the latest and flashiest the art world has to offer—the museum has displayed everything from conceptual tree-house video installations to abstract murals composed of tiny pieces of cut-up plastic bottles.

Musée D'Art Contemporain De Montréal offers these services: musée, museums, museum.
Located at Place des Arts, this museum prides itself on presenting extraordinary, sometimes controversial contemporary art in an uncluttered and welcoming setting.
