The McCord presented a workshop-visit entitled MoneyTalks: Commerce and Currency in Montreal.  Visitors to the McCord Museum explored the evolution of commercial Montreal since the 17th century in the permanent exhibition Simply Montreal: Glimpses of a Unique City. The workshop-visit took place in October, every Sunday from 10:30am. They also discovered unique objects that recount the history of business and Canadian currency.

Participants were also invited to make their own trade medallion or bracelet of glass beads, both important symbols of exchange between Europeans and Native peoples in the earliest days of the city.

The museum possesses one of North America’s top historical collections, preserved and interpreted in a way that gives life to the rich and varied heritage of Montreal and Canada.

On October 3rd, Montreal Matters was launched at the McCord Museum. Santropol Roulant catered the event. MORE

The McCord Museum conserves, studies and presents a remarkable collection of objects, archives and historical photographs, through which it helps increase awareness of the social history and material culture of Canada, Quebec and Montreal.
