 For special gifts |
444 St-Gabriel Street (At Notre-Dame) Montreal, QC H2Y 2Z9 Canada +1 514 866 6581 |
As the name implies, this gallery, located in the beautiful and historic Bonsecours area of Old Montreal, presents ceramic art both from recognized artists from around the world and recent graduates of the centre's own school. The pieces are for sale at reasonable prices; watch for group exhibitions from Quebec ceramists, rotated on a semi-annual basis, and year-round student exhibits. This is a great place to find that unique ceramic gift for that special person. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Silver domed standout |
350 St-Paul Street E (Near Place Jacques-Cartier) Montreal, QC H2Y 1H2 Canada +1 514 872 7730 http://www.marchebonsecours.qc... |
Located in the cultural and tourism heart of Old Montreal, this neo-classic building dates from the mid-18th century. It has been home to a city hall, a reception centre, and public markets. In fact, following an 1849 fire in the Parliament Building, it became the seat of the United Canada Government. Today, following two restorations, the silver-domed building is used as an exhibition hall. It teems with sidewalk cafes, boutiques, souvenir shops and fine arts galleries. You will find everything from maps to fashion accessories and native art. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Engine delights |
110 rue Saint-Pierre Montreal, QC J5A 2G9 Canada +1 514 632 2410 http://www.exporail.org/ |
This nationally known railway museum showcases a quarter million artifacts, documents and other articles related to Canada's railway history. The real stars, however, are the 140 locomotives and other rolling stock, many of which are in working order. The CPR 144 is the oldest existing locomotive in the country, while The Rocket was Montreal's inaugural electric streetcar. Several trains and streetcars offer rides on a daily basis. The museum is best accessed from the Mercier Bridge, Highways 132 east and 209 south. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Upscale retro |
3901 St-Denis Street (Near Roy) Montreal, QC H2W 2M4 Canada +1 514 282 4141 http://www.couleurs.qc.ca/ |
Boasting furniture, accessories and objets d'art from the 20th century, this little store is like IKEA for those who would not be caught dead shopping at a superstore. Still, many colours, shapes and designs here are quite reminiscent of the Swedish giant's more upscale products; there is a definite slant towards Scandinavian design. It makes a great stop on any tour of the shops on St-Denis Street, and for those with the budget it is a source of limitless unique gift ideas. Review © 2007, Wcities |
