Marvel at Canada’s tallest Christmas tree
What: Canada’s tallest (and perhaps also skinniest) Christmas tree was unveiled in Place des Arts only a few short days ago. Covered in sparkly lights, the tree can be seen for miles in any direction and is surely a welcome addition to the city’s gorgeous holiday decor. See it for yourself and take an Instagram pic!
When: Anytime
Where: Place des Arts
Fragments of Humanity, Archaeology in Quebec
What: The first major exhibition dedicated entirely to Quebec archaeology, Fragments of Humanity features over 350 artifacts and tracks 50 years of archaeological discovery in the province. Combining items from museums all over Quebec, the exhibition highlights the history of the region through each individual artifact. We promise you’ll never look at Montreal the same way again.
When: Until January 8, 2017
Where: Pointe-a-Calliere

La Biennale de Montreal: The Grand Balcony
