Located on the Saint Lawrence River, the history of the old port stretches back to the early 17th century and now has become home to several important Montreal art institutions. Wander the cobblestone streets of the old port with an art insider, and visit a selection of internationally-known foundations, visual art centres, and better-known galleries. See exhibitions by renowned international artists and community-oriented grassroots initiatives. Learn how these locations have come to be, who are the founders and their importance to the Montreal art community at large. Our tours are led by passionate art insiders who enjoy revealing the history of Montreal and its importance as a cultural centre of Canada. Visit the well-known port of Montreal with a fresh view and discover its important art locations.

Locations we visit will vary depending on gallery schedules and current exhibitions, but we will visit four to six contemporary art locations, with an introduction to Quebec culture.
