What you need to know about Montreal's museums
Museum day : every year, the last weekend of May, there's a Journée des musées (museum day).. actually it's part of the international museum day. All the museums in Montreal are free that day and there's a free bus service from one museum to the other (it starts at the Info-Tourism office at Dorchester Square downtown, Peel metro station). But as you can expect, the most popular museums have very long lineups, so it's a good occasion to go to the ones you wouldn't pay to visit, there might be a few good surprises.
Montreal museum pass : it's a card that gives you unlimited access to all the participating museums (at least 19 of them) over a certain limited period of time.
There's a 1 day pass for $15 (or $30 for a family of four) and a 3 day pass for $28 ($60 for a family of four). So if you plan on visiting at least three of the participating museums, then you'll have saved some money (the more you visit, the more you save). You can buy it at the Info-Tourism office downtown, at the participating museums and at certain hotels. For more information (and a list of those museums), check out the Tourism Montreal web site.
Most museums have rebates for large groups, call before (it's always a good idea to check if they can accomodate your group) or check out their web site. There's a list of Montreal museums with web sites in moreMontreal.com's museum section.
Free museums and weekly rebates : there are a couple of free museums, there are usually small but still interesting. Here's a partial list of those museums :
