Join us for a tour at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA)! Founded in 1979, the CCA is an international research institution and museum premised on the belief that architecture is a public concern. Since its founding, the CCA has produced exhibitions, publications, research programs, and public events. We use our extensive collection of archives (both physical and digital), prints, drawings, photographs, and library materials to explore new ideas and conversations around architecture today, thinking about how architecture shapes—and might reshape—contemporary life.


Although the CCA is based in Montréal, we are international in our collecting scope and in our work, sometimes partnering with institutions abroad to better explore global perspectives. Digital tools allow us to share our research and our collection with local and international audiences.


This tour will include an overview of the CCA’s mission, a tour of current exhibitions, a visit to our study room, and a peek into the library’s vaults. Members of the CCA staff will be available to answer questions related to how we provide reference services, our cataloguing policies, and our approach to acquisitions.


Transportation : transit pass provided.

The recommended transportation arrangements are to walk (25 minutes) or use public transit as a group from the Hotel (Métro Bonaventure to Métro George-Vanier).
