A city's charm
By turns dazzling and dark, dignified and frivolous, steamy-hot and icy-cold, Montréal — city of a thousand spires, crossroads of a continent — casts its eternal spell. Like a tune that lingers in the mind, its history speaks to the hearts of all: Montrealers, people experiencing its charm for the first time, and those who just keep coming back. The McCord Museum's permanent exhibition, entitled Simply Montréal, offers myriad glimpses of this unique city and immerses visitors into the very heart of the rich and varied experience it offers.

An array of First Nations objects, full of symbolism and emotion; a selection of extraordinary photographs by the renowned Canadian photographer William Notman; a variety of sports equipment and charming toys; a series of splendid gowns and outfits worn by illustrious Montrealers - over 800 objects from the McCord's famous collection will bring the great Montreal adventure to life.

Accented with interactive installations and enveloped in evocative atmospheres, Simply Montréal is an invitation to people of all ages to steep themselves in the city, surround themselves with its sounds and sensations - even to brave an authentic "made in Montreal" snowstorm!
