In its size, variety and quality, the MMFA’s international art collection is unique in Quebec and one of the three largest in Canada.
On display in the Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion for Peace, inaugurated in 2016, it is a powerful, in-depth reflection of the highlights of civilization. The works of the Hornstein gift, as well as Ben Weider’s Napoleonic collection, have been incorporated into the existing collection both chronologically and thematically, in a fluid and logical manner, in the pavilion’s presentation of 750 international artworks on four levels.
