The Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal wants to build a home in a grain silo. “The museum’s project, titled Silo No. 5: Musée d’art moderne, imagines the revamping of three historic grain silos on the western edge of Old Montreal, a project that would include a luxury-condo complex and a museum devoted to modern and contemporary art with a special emphasis on the emergence of abstraction in Quebec. The proposed museum would be housed on the 10th and 11th floors of a concrete grain elevator built in 1957 by C. D. Howe and Co. and would showcase the permanent collection of the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal.”
