The Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion for Peace building has been designed to open out onto the city and its architectural heritage, providing visitors with a panoramic, river-to-mountain view. Conceived by Atelier TAG in consortium with Jodoin Lamarre Pratte architectes, this fifth pavilion, along with its exclusive new gallery settings, created by the MMFA in collaboration with Architem, bolster Montreal’s status as a UNESCO City of Design.
