A New Website
For the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal

Montréal, May 19th, 2005 - The Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal has just completed the overhaul of its website www.macm.org which has been online since this past May 12. Produced by Grenier Marketing (www.greniermarketing.com), the new site is designed above all to serve the interests of the general public and lovers of contemporary art. Its clean, even minimal, look puts the main focus on the content.

In browsing through the site, you are already getting a virtual tour of the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Canada's premier museum of contemporary art. Information on both current and upcoming exhibitions is easy to find, and a monthly calendar of activities is also provided. For researchers and specialists, a link leads to the site of the museum's Media Centre (www.media.macm.org), the country's largest reference centre on contemporary art.

Updated daily, this new website will raise the visibility of the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal at home and abroad.

Now when you visit the site, you can download computer wallpaper made up of images of works from the museum's permanent collection. In addition, a window at the bottom of the home page allows you to subscribe to an e-mail newsletter so that you can be the first to receive information on the latest exhibitions and activities at the Musée.
