PROGRaM

Inaugurated in 1921, the McCord embodies the vision of a passionate collector, David Ross McCord, whose abiding wish was to shed light on the history and cultures of his country and thus bring its people together. The McCord Museum celebrates our past and present life in Montréal–our history, our people, our communities. To understand history and get the perspective needed to appreciate the progress made by society, one must look back at the past from the present. The Museum offers a contemporary immersive approach to history and creates opportunities for contemplation, thus reflecting a city open to the world. With the goal of creating engaged citizens, the McCord Museum’s Education Programs department organizes initiatives designed especially for a variety of clienteles.
