Founded in 1976, Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal Regimental Museum is part of the Organization of Military Museums of Canada. The museum is dedicated not only to the conservation of historical artifacts, but to the perpetuation of regimental and Montreal history. As the oldest francophone regiment in Montreal (1869 to present day), Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal boasts many current and former members who played an active role in the development of Montreal, shaping it into the city we know and love today. The main entrance of the building is located on Henri-Julien Street; ring the bell to enter. The entrance and the guided tour are free.

After Barcelone, Amsterdam, Berlin and St-Petersburg, Montreal have its own street art museum. In total, 24 murals created by 24 montreal artists made an unusual space shine...the industrial stairwell!

The space offers a varied program of exhibitions, evenings and workshops, and welcomes artisans, artists and citizens to exchange around a common subject: art.
