The support of the great patrons of the MMFA has made possible:
- the construction of the Jean-Noël Desmarais Pavilion (inaugurated in 1991), the Claire and Marc Bourgie Pavilion (inaugurated in 2011), and the Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion for Peace (inaugurated in 2016);
- the creation of the Michel de la Chenelière Centre for Learning and the Arts, where numerous education and art therapy activities are held;
- the Sharing the Museum Program, which offers free activities to community organizations, thanks notably to TD Bank Group;
- the presentation of world-class exhibitions like Seeing Loud: Basquiat and Music; Georgia O’Keeffe and Henry Moore: Giants of Modern Art; and Saints, Sinners, Lovers and Fools: Three Hundred Years of Flemish Masterworks, which have positioned the MMFA among the world’s top museums;
- the preservation and promotion of our artistic heritage represented in the Museum’s vast collection of some 47,000 works;
- the implementation of initiatives to secure the Museum’s future, such as the establishment of the Ariane Riou and Réal Plourde Chair of Art and Education in Service of the Community, the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Curator of Quebec and Canadian Art (1945 to Today), and the Zhao-Ionescu Chair, which finances the position of Chief Curator at the MMFA.
Thanks to the support received from its great patrons, the Museum is able to maintain its position on the international stage, and a special place in the hearts of Montrealers. Thank you for being part of our closeknit philanthropic community.
