Our Sponsors and Patrons

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is a private institution that must generate up to fifty percent of its annual budget. To reach this goal and pursue its mission, the Museum depends on the generosity of its partners and government agencies.

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts would like to thank the following organizations for their ongoing support:

Fédération des caisses Desjardins du Québec

For school programmes that have been offered to elementary and secondary school students and to CEGEP and university students for decades. These programmes are essential to the cultural development of future generations.

Families and first-time visitors are invited to take advantage of the expo-workshop A Whole World of Objects. Every Saturday and Sunday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. an educator is there to lead explorations into art and activities linked to the objects on display in the StudiO. No reservation is necessary, but in the event that too many visitors show up, numbers may have to be restricted. This workshop receives financial support from TD Canada Trust.
