Montreal Museums Day

Montreal Museums Day (French: Journée des musées montréalais) is an annual event in Montreal. One Sunday every May, more than 30 of the city's largest museums and galleries offer free admission and extended opening hours.[6] To facilitate visitor access to as many museums as possible, the Montreal Transit Corporation provides free shuttle buses.

The first Montreal Museums Day was held in 1987.
