The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts' FREE holiday admission starts this weekend

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) is getting into the spirit of giving by allowing free access to the general public to its permanent collections and discovery exhibitions.

The deal is part of the museum’s Miracle at the Museum promotion and it kicks off this weekend Saturday, December 22, and lasts into the new year, until January 5, 2020.

As MMFA’s free admission deal does not apply to the museum’s major exhibitions, here are the “Discovery Exhibits” that won’t cost you anything to go check out:

• About Face: Photographs by Cindy Sherman, Laurie Simmons and Rachel Harrison from the Collection of Carol and David Appel (starting December 11)
• “For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you”: Selections from the Bailey Collection (starting December 4)
• Obsession: Sir William Van Horne’s Japanese Ceramics
• Untamed Colour: Celebrating Jean McEwen
• Contemporary Artists at Play: Flirting with Codes, Tricks, and Subterfuge
• Avant-garde Montrealers: Jewellery, Glass and Ceramics as Envisioned by Gallerists Jocelyne Gobeil, Elena Lee and Barbara Silverberg

The MMFA will also offer a free “family workshop” during the same time, offering families creative activities, themed on the holidays, for free.
