Half of the exhibition will be reinvented each weekend to introduce the borough’s unique history, while the other half will be dedicated to that of Montréal. As it winds it way from park to park with the La Grande Tournée du 375e, this historical exhibition offers the perfect opportunity to learn, be inspired and be entertained by the stories of the people who have contributed to shaping Montréal’s history and neighbourhoods. Thanks to images and personal anecdotes from neighbourhood residents, this unique happening sheds a whole new light on Montréal past and present. Show less
