Art Inspiration: Québec Trip / The Art Of Montréal

 

Like any other city Montréal has its own style of artistic expression you just have to look for it. Outside the museums the city is full of examples, through the people and architecture that make it so unique.

The funny thing is that as I was exploring the city we went into a building that has the Barbie Expo on display. This is a collection of Barbie dolls from different places around the world, scenes and eras. I wasn’t into the exhibit, my friend liked it and I have to admit that many of the dolls looked like some of the famous people you may know. They had Elizabeth Taylor from Cleopatra, Jack Sparrow and even James Bond.

Yet I continued to a famous location in Montréal that has a lot of significance. The Bell Centre where the Montréal Canadians play. They are a historic hockey franchise that has too many years of amazing history to place in this blog. It was just amazing to see all these wonderful tributes to things I remember as a child or read about.

Walking along these streets seeing all these buildings you can see the culture of the city come to life.

Even along the Old port of Montréal you can see art. They showed faces of people on trees across the port. These faces were projections on the trees as they moved across them.

Montréal was filled with art. One just has to slow down and enjoy the moment.
