settlement of the Amerindians to the twentieth century.

McCord
Museum of
Canadian
History
The
museum was founded by David Ross McCord, whose family owned a sizeable
collection of historical objects. In around 1878, McCord decided he wanted to
expand the collection, so he started to travel around the country in search for
objects of historical value.
Four
decades later, when his private collection contained about 15,000 objects,
David Ross McCord set out to establish a national history museum. To achieve
his goal he bequeathed his collection to McGill University. Two years later the
museum opened its doors to the public.
The
museum is housed in the Nobbs Building, a gray limestone edifice built in 1906
by Percy Erskine Nobbs near the McGill University. In 1992 the building was
expanded with a south annex, providing additional space for exhibits and a
library.
The
McCord Museum now owns well over a million objects, images and manuscript
related to Canada's History. The museum continually organizes temporary
exhibitions on top of its permanent exhibitions.
These
include a close look at the heritage of First Peoples. The exhibition 'Wearing
Our Identity' shows the importance of clothing in the identity of the First
Nations, Inuits and Métis. The stories behind the colorful costumes and
textiles give a fascinating insight in the culture of these societies.
Another
interesting exhibition explores the history of Montreal, from an early
settlement of native people to a cosmopolitan city with a subway and
skyscrapers. Through photos, historic objects and interactive multimedia
displays the exhibition shows the dramatic changes the city underwent in its
recent history. The displays also provide background information on the people
who put their stamp on Montreal and give us an insight in the cultural and
social aspects of this rich and complex city.
In
the stairwell you can also see an authentic totem pole from the Haida,
indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest Coast.
