There are many exciting artistic works of great masters of the past 500 years though I would have loved to see some items from Indus Valley Civilization too!

Loved it! This is definitely one of the best art museums I've been to. It's enormous! We were there for many hours and I still think we didn't see everything. It's almost entirely accessible, and I saw people in wheelchairs. I highly recommend visiting it. The museum staff members are friendly and helpful.

Montreal has so many museums and this one stands out as one of the best. There are constant great exhibits including a glass blower exhibit and recently one dedicated to Pompeii. It is always clean and the displays are very well done. I suggest getting the audio tours for added information. The buildings themselves are also very nice and now include a new building with a modern design.
