The Musée d’art contemporain (MACM) marks 50 years as one of Montreal’s major cultural institutions by joining forces with the city’s other great repository of art, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) for this exhibition, offered to the public free of charge. When Collections Collide: The Musée d’art contemporain at The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts concentrates on contemporary works, arranged as an “aesthetic conversation” between collections. The show spotlights individual strengths – installations, multimedia and photography by Canadians for MACM, painting and sculpture from at home and abroad for MMFA – while reinforcing the need for partnership and community.
