MAM (formerly Montreal History Centre)

Just a great afternoon! My friend and I went to see the Montreal exhibit and were not disappointed. They really did a good job with the way you can learn and interact with the museum. I'd highly suggest checking it out. The little films they made and what they had on display are well worth the journey to check out.

This was an important addition to the limited perspectives of Montréal's history shown at many of her historic museums. We were incredibly happy to have found this spot. The whole space is dedicated to the voices, perspectives and stories of every Montréaler. There are stories from today and underrepresented populations through history in interesting and interactive displays. If you are uncertain about wearing public headphones, you may wish to bring sanitizing wipes for your comfort. Also has a great little gift shop with unique items and fun snacks and drinks, and a public space to sit and enjoy.

Excellent experience as an Anglo outsider who adores Montréal but has never truly lived here. It is mostly a museum of “everyday objects” both historic and contemporary that is propped up by oral histories, newsreel footage, interviews, and other audio-visual content. I found the museum to be very touching and a true heartfelt testament to Montrealers’ love for their city and its unique culture. Everyone’s story is told; the museum is extremely inclusive of all social groups and I think everyone can find something to identify with here. All the content was presented in its original language with either French or English subtitles. Give yourself ample time to enjoy the exhibits, each video clip lasts 3-5 minutes and the museum is rich with video content. The staff were super accommodating and I thought the gift shop was super cute dressed up as a Dépanneur. If you have any connection to this city or even a passing interest as a tourist, I encourage you to go here and see this beautiful love letter to Montréal.

"A Mile in My Shoes" is a poignant and insightful exhibit that invites you to step into the lives of diverse Montrealers. Presented as a reimagined shoe store, the exhibit features a collection of shoes, each paired with an audio story of its owner. These intimate narratives, ranging from heartwarming to heartbreaking, offer a unique window into the human experience. By encouraging empathy and understanding through personal stories, "A Mile in My Shoes" is a powerful reminder of our shared humanity.
