Montreal Moose Sculpture on Sherbrooke Street

Montreal is promoting its museum district with a fun campaign called Project Orign’Art. This is a showcase of colorful two dimensional moose sculptures, placed all along Sherbrooke Street, with quotes from famous artists in French on one side and English on the other. I think this is a great concept: they're eye-catching and cheerful, fun to look at and shows how art can be a part of everyday life.

Warrior Emperor and China Terracotta Army/Forever on Guard

Exhibition of the world renown Chinese terracotta army that was discovered in Xi'an, China in 1974 is currently at the Montreal Museum Of Fine Arts. I'm so happy to hear that it is a success and has been a big draw for tourists this Spring. If you are at all a bit curious to see some of the artifacts including some statues from the First Emperor's mausoleum, be sure to come before the show's closing- June 26, 2011. To give you an insight as to what you can expect to see, you can watch the 3 short videos that I have include here. Hope you enjoy !

Totem Urbain/Histoire en Dentelles

Sculpture/installation in brass, aluminium and glass by Pierre Granche (1991-92). It's tucked away very discreetly on the side entrance of the McCord Museum of Canadian History... 690 Sherbrooke St. West, corner Victoria Street. If you enter and exit the museum at the main entrance, you'll surely miss this little gem.
