On the first Friday of each month, the Musée hosts an evening unlike any other on the Montréal scene.
The Nocturnes series turns up the ambience and features live music performances, a bar service, and entry to all of the Musée’s exhibitions. Why not try this original new way to visit the Musée and connect with contemporary art?
Ever since June 1, 2007, some of the most talented artists of Montréal’s music scene have been featured at the Friday Nocturnes: DJ Champion and his guitar line-up, Blandiloquentia, We are Wolves, Martin Tétreault, The National Parcs, Duchess Says, DJ Maüs, Pas Chic Chic, bob, We are Ortiz and Creature. Upcoming performances promise to be just as memorable. However, because of the overwhelming success of these events, the names of our future performers will be kept under wraps.
The Musée’s capacity for the Nocturnes events is limited to 700 people. The first to arrive will be admitted into the performance space; those arriving later in the evening will have the possibility of watching the show via video as well as visiting all the Musée’s exhibitions in an exclusive, nocturnal atmosphere. First come, first served!
Nocturnes Schedule:
5 pm to 9 pm: access to the Musée’s exhibitions featuring ambient sound track and bar service. Guides will be available in the exhibition spaces to answer questions.
7 pm to 8 pm: musical performance in the Beverly Webster Rolph Hall, relayed by video to a giant screen outside the performance space.
Next Nocturnes dates: September 5, 2008 (no Friday Nocturne in August).
No reservation is required
Admission with either regular Musée ticket or our new $10 Wired card.
Nocturnes is the brand new concept developed by the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal.
