Diane Charbonneau ǀ Rethinking the Display of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts’ Collections of Decorative Arts and Design

Go behind the scenes at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to discover new curatorial approaches to decorative arts and design. Since 2011, the Liliane and David M. Stewart Pavilion of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts has housed an entirely reinstalled collection. Some 900 works, from the Renaissance to today, are on permanent display.

This latest and most thought-provoking presentation results from a combination of instinct and in-depth knowledge of the museum’s holdings. These crowd-pleasing galleries are considered part of the wealth of Montreal, UNESCO City of Design.

Diane Charbonneau, curator of Modern and Contemporary Decorative Arts at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts since 2000, holds master’s degrees from Simon Fraser University and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Her curatorial experience spans Dale Chihuly to Yves Saint Laurent, with many stops in between.
