By displaying works outside its walls, the Museum aims to bolster the presence of public art in the downtown core and weave a sculptural narrative that dates from the Modern period to today. Bordering several of the Museum’s pavilions, the Sculpture Garden comprises some 20 works by renowned artists and is one of the most extensive displays of public art in Montreal.
In the summer of 2024, the MMFA undertook a complete redesign of its outdoor spaces in collaboration with Espace pour la vie and NIPPAYSAGE. Thanks to a transformational gift from generous Montreal patrons Jess and Mark Pathy, people strolling in the vicinity of the Museum can now enjoy a whole new palette of plant life.
