The Museum has suspended its activities and is closed to the public for major renovations. This restoration work will continue for a period of eighteen months and has been made possible through the financial assistance provided by the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition feminine.

The Museum’s refurbished permanent exhibition is expected to open in May 2010 and will include a revised programme of educational and public activities to be offered to the citizens of the Greater Montreal area and to its visitors.
