Canada's oldest museum has been accumulating art from all over the world since 1860. If landscapes are your thing, the collected works of Québec artist Marc-Aurèle Fortin were acquired by the museum in 2007. The museum's permanent collection includes everyone from Rembrandt to Renoir, and not surprisingly, one of the best assemblies of Canadian art anywhere, with works by such luminaries as Paul Kane, the Group of Seven, and Paul-Émile Borduas.You can trace the country's history from New France to New Age through the museum's decorative art, painting, and sculpture. But it's not all serious: in 2001 the museum absorbed the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, so you can also take a look at some fanciful bentwood furniture designed by Frank Gehry, a marvelous collection of 18th-century English porcelain, and 3,000 -- count 'em -- Japanese snuffboxes collected by, of all people, Georges Clémenceau, France's prime minister during World War I. All this is housed in two buildings linked by an underground tunnel -- the older, neoclassical Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion, on the north side of rue Sherbrooke, and the glittering, glass-fronted Jean-Noël-Desmarais Pavilion, across the street. In 2006 the museum also took over the nearby Erskine and American United Church, a monument to the days when Anglo-Scottish Protestants ruled the heights of the Square Mile. The church has 24 stained-glass windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany, the largest such collection outside the United States, but alas, they will be off limits until the museum completes a major 10-year rebuilding program. The museum also has a gift shop, a bookstore, a restaurant, a cafeteria, and a gallery where you can buy or even rent paintings by local artists.
