Parall(elles): A History of Women in Design (subject to admission fee)
This major exhibition sheds light on the instrumental role women have played in the history of design in the United States and Canada from the late 19th century onwards. All created by women, the design objects on display reveal a vast range of skill and know-how that includes ceramics, glass, jewellery, textiles, fashion and interior design, to name a few.

**Revelations: Prints by Albert Dumouchel in the Collection of the MMFA: **
Consisting largely of works drawn from the Museum’s collection, Revelations presents close to forty prints by Montreal artist Albert Dumouchel, one of the most influential Quebec printmakers of his time. An eloquent encapsulation of the originality of the artist’s printmaking, the exhibition highlights his technical mastery of the craft as well as his continually shifting imagery.

ᑐᓴᕐᓂᑐᑦ TUSARNITUT! Music Born of the Cold:
This exhibition addresses a hitherto little explored theme: the place of music in Inuit visual art. Combining anthropology and Indigenous art history, it offers a thorough panorama of contemporary and traditional art originating from the circumpolar regions.

Views of Within: Picturing the Spaces We Inhabit:
“Interior”: whether as noun or adjective, the word defines a space contained within limits, within boundaries. It carries numerous meanings and nuances in its applications in home life, imprisonment, feminism, the spiritual dimension, politics and other areas.
