Cultural Trips

Travel with Friends of the Museum

Friends of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts have the opportunity to go on cultural trips that open up new horizons in art. These exclusive trips are often planned to coincide with major exhibitions in world-renowned museums. In addition, private homes and collections that are usually off limits to the general public are often included, giving our group the opportunity to view invaluable cultural treasures. A lecturer or art historian usually accompanies the group, which is limited to twenty participants. Join others who share your interest in art and culture for some unforgettable moments!

The Museum’s Volunteer Association also organizes day tours and lectures on art-related subjects. See Day Tours

Bon voyage!
