This Sunday, May 27th you can visit over 30 museums in Montreal for FREE! There will be something for everyone, both young and old.

One place we haven’t been that would be fun to check out Sunday is the heritage site Musée Stewart Museum where you can discover the most imposing military site in Montreal and its buildings erected in the 19th century.
