Photography exhibition on McGill College Avenue

For its 15th anniversary, the Museum’s photo exhibition on McGill College Avenue invites you to dive back into your childhood memories.

The exhibition wanders through the streets and parks of Montreal from the 1870s to the 1990s tracing children’s favourite pastimes in days gone by. An exhibition that awakens nostalgia through some 20 large-format photographs, including a selection by photographer William Notman.
