Cinéma du Musée is a cinema inside the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, on Sherbrooke Street West in the city's downtown area. It screens art-house, independent and international films, and its setting is intimate, so it suits anyone who prefers a quieter room to a multiplex.
What kind of visit it makes
Because the cinema sits within the museum, it works well as part of a wider afternoon or evening. You can see a film and then spend time with the museum's collections, or do the reverse. It is a natural choice for film lovers who want to watch work that is less often shown in mainstream theatres, and for museum visitors who want to close their day with a screening.
What to know before you go
- The address is 1379-A Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal.
