This sumptuous residence, classified rare historic monument in the East of the metropolis, plunges us into the beginning of the 20^th century’s atmosphere of prosperity. Its architecture, interior decoration and domestic installations testify to an influential and avant-garde Francophone bourgeoisie whose actions on the development of Montreal were important.

Before becoming a museum and heritage institution, this incomparable venue also housed the first National Museum of Contemporary Art in Quebec and first Museum of Decorative Arts.
