Upcoming dates: September 5 and October 3 (closed in August).


The Nocturnes series turns up the ambience and features live music performances, a bar service, and entry to all of the Musée’s exhibitions. Why not try this original new way to visit the Musée and connect with contemporary art?

Some of the most talented artists of Montréal’s music scene have been featured at the Friday Nocturnes: DJ Champion and his guitar line-up, Blandiloquentia, We are Wolves, Martin Tétreault, The National Parcs, Duchess Says, DJ Maüs, Pas Chic Chic, bob, We are Ortiz and Creature. Upcoming performances promise to be just as memorable.

Friday, September 5, The Musée welcomes Beast, an experimental union between the powerful and sensual voice of Beatrice Bonifassi and the beats of composer and drummer Jean-Phi Goncalves.

The Musée’s capacity for the Nocturnes events is limited to 700 people. The first to arrive will be admitted into the performance space; those arriving later in the evening will have the possibility of watching the show via video as well as visiting all the Musée’s exhibitions in an exclusive, nocturnal atmosphere. Education Department staff will be available in the exhibition spaces to answer questions.

First come, first served!
No reservation is required. Admission with either regular Musée ticket or our new $10 Wired card.
