Gifts of Money $

The museum has been able to build an absolutely remarkable collection, largely due to the generosity of donors, artists, collectors, businesspeople and the general public. The funds collected by the museum also help finance its exhibitions and educational activities.

To continue acquiring certain works, the museum must be able to count on faithful financial partners. That's where the Musée Foundation plays a part.

Making a gift allows benefactors to take advantage of the tax and inheritance benefits provided by law, without affecting their current income. All gifts are tax deductible. Your tax advisor or accountant will be familiar with the details. There are different types of gifts: testamentary bequests, annuities, life insurance, money, artworks or other property, stocks or bonds.

Gifts may be sent to:

Fondation du Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal
185, rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest
Montréal (Québec) H2X 3X5

Gifts of Artworks

The collection of the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal comprises more than 7,000 works, illustrating the major trends in Québec, Canadian and international art. It has grown, and continues to grow, through both gifts (40% of acquisitions) and purchases (60% of acquisitions). The museum must be a major buyer on the Québec and world scenes to remain a key player in the contemporary art world. Building the collection is one of its main priorities.

To do this, the museum relies on donors' generosity. Their knowledge and taste play a part in enriching its collection. The museum applies the same strict standards to accepting gifts as it does when it purchases works.

At the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Suzanne Lemire is in charge of collection development. She can answer your questions about the museum's acquisition procedures or about the tax benefits accruing from gifts and bequests of artworks.
