Extrem kleines aber feines Museum mit interessanten Ausstellungsstücken. Die Geschichte der Bank, aber auch allgemeine Daten zum damaligen Bankingsystem werden dargestellt. Es wird mitunter Falschgeld mit echten Noten verglichen. Das Museum ist schnell durchlaufen, ist aber auf jedem Fall ein Besuch wert. Es befindet sich links vom Hauptgebäude in einem Zwischengsng und ist kostenlos zugänglich. Beim Museum befinden sich auch sanitäre Anlagen.

It's a nice little museum tucked beside a bank branch. It shows the early history of the bank, tools, key people. I just wish that it's more than just a room. And they need to put more lighting near the bank teller cage. Right now it's so dark and the glass quite dirty that it looks creepy.

The entrance to the museum is free and on the side on the principal entrance to the bank. The staff is very nice and the place is super clean too. The museum is quite small ( just 3 rooms in total) but very interesting about old Montreal money. 7/10 would recommend if you are near by.

Edifício histórico de 1817. É o banco o mais antigo do Canadá e está situado bem em frente a Basílica de Notre Dame. Se tiver interesse no assunto, vale a pena! O museu tem acesso gratuito. *Ei! Dá só uma olhadinha nas outras opções de passeios gratuitos em Montreal no meu blog Vivajando*

The museum consists of only 1.5 rooms, but is still an interesting visit. It tells the story of Bank of Montreal through old bills, bank equipment and pictures. You reach the exhibition room through the bank entrance. Take the right entrance to get a view of the nice old entrance hall.

  • Harry Bradley

The building is impressive, it's always nice to see that classic architecture. The museum itself is just a room off to the side and there's not much there.

Tiny museum. I was expecting a wider exhibition given that the museum is inside an impressive building.

I liked it but the name “museum” was misleading. It’s an exhibition room.
