On June 1, 2024—the 60th anniversary of its founding in 1964—the MAC will officially launch a year-long celebration. While the museum’s temporary relocation to Place Ville Marie and limited access to our collection during the renovations at the Place des Arts site prevent our celebrating this anniversary with as big a splash as we have previous milestones, we’ll still be offering memorable special activities from now until the summer of 2025.

Here’s what you need to know to join in these activities—and we’ll be regularly adding even more opportunities to celebrate together!

The grand return of the Nocturnes

To close out its 60th anniversary year in style, the MAC will engage the Société des arts technologiques (SAT) for the highly anticipated return of its legendary Nocturnes in a new format, with an additional family component in the afternoon. Local artists, performances, creative workshops, DJs. Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 17, 2025! More details to come.

How about you? An anniversary survey

June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025

The new MAC will be open and accessible—more conducive than ever to conversation and sharing. Our teams are already preparing for the reopening at Place des Arts, where our collection, much of which has been inaccessible to the public during our renovations, will once again be on display.
