Off-the-Wall Evening: Orange Cones for Halloween!
MEM - Centre des mémoires montréalaises
Off-the-Wall Evening is an opportunity to visit the museum in a laid-back atmosphere while making new friends.
This Halloween, we invite you to visit the museum in costume — but not just any costume! Our theme this year is:
Orange cones
Never mind pumpkins—construction cones are the true orange of Montréal! We have a fun evening lined up, with a few surprises as well. Plus a complimentary gift for those wearing costumes in the spirit of this year’s theme!
Buy your tickets to visit the museum.
Our cash bar will be open for the evening.
