Canadian Centre for Architecture
Shaughnessy Village, Montréal, Canada

The Canadian Centre for Architecture treats the built environment as a subject for curiosity and debate. Its exhibitions explore how architecture shapes everyday life and how societies shape architecture in return, making it rewarding for interested visitors as well as specialists. The combination of research institution, museum and historic house gives the setting additional depth. Check the current exhibitions and opening days before visiting; access to archival material requires a separate appointment, and construction around the perimeter may affect the approach.
