MEM - Centre des mémoires montréalaises

The MEM—Centre des mémoires montréalaises occupies a prominent corner at the intersection of Saint-Laurent Boulevard and Sainte-Catherine Street. You can identify the building by the collection of vintage neon signs from across the city, including the St. James United Church and the Imperial Boots marquee, displayed near its entrance. This museum functions as a civic space, reimagined from the former Centre d’histoire de Montréal to prioritize the personal accounts of residents over traditional curated exhibits.
