Rue Sherbrooke Ouest (Golden Square Mile facades)

Golden Square Mile · Architecture walk · Free

The walk between the MMFA's pavilions is itself a show. This was the Golden Square Mile, where Canada's nineteenth-century elite built their mansions, and the facades along Sherbrooke are a free architectural collection. Look up between museums.

The grand boulevard of Montreal's old elite — Beaux-Arts mansions, the MMFA's pavilions, and a century of facade ambition.
