The Montréal Museums Card gets activated the first time you use it at a museum that is a member of Montréal Museums. The Montréal Museums Card must be activated within one year of purchase. For example, a Montréal Museums Card purchased on January 10 must be activated before January 10 of the following year. An expired Montréal Museums Card cannot be used.

What’s the difference between the Excursion and Discovery Cards?
