Montreal Art Center & Museum
Located in the heart of Griffintown, a neighborhood rich in industrial history and cultural revival, the Montreal Art Center & Museum is housed in a historic building dating back to 1875. Originally constructed by Scottish entrepreneur John McDougall, the building was home to the Caledonian Iron Works, a thriving foundry that employed over 300 workers. The foundry produced components for ships and trains, playing a vital role in the industrial development of Montreal during the late 19th century.
