Visiting Montreal's Fine Arts Museum

This December, admission is free to Montreal's Museum of Fine Art...

The museum is only a few blocks from where we were staying, so we decided to visit - and see what was on display.

The first exhibit we entered was about unique furniture and household items from different countries.

Terry and I were taken by the interesting display of chairs!

Some, like this double-decker chair, were fun - but totally impractical!

The museum was full of students sketching unusual pieces...

We just wandered around looking at whatever caught our eyes - like this large sculpture made entirely of Lego pieces...

This watering can display from Sweden looked vaguely familiar...

I know why! I have the very same watering can... purchased at Ikea! (I have never thought of it as "fine art" before!

I was inspired by these pottery pieces from around the world.

They are all containers with lids.

In a few weeks, I may be checking these pictures again, as I wonder what to make when my pottery studio sessions resume in the new year.
