1 Direct benefits: correspond to increased revenues from companies and individuals resulting from increased demand for goods and services associated with the Museum’s activities (e.g. salaries and suppliers). The local economy’s capture rate for these expenses is 90% for the MMFA’s expenses and 70% for tourist spending.
2 Indirect benefits: from increased production in companies located in the targeted region, which supply intermediary products to industries directly related to the Museum’s activities. A range was indicated for each category of indirect benefit, with the aim of reflecting the sensitivity of the benefit to the multiplier factor used.

The MMFA’s budget ($34.7 M) is significantly lower than that of most American art museums that receive more than a million visitors per year; this difference is due in large part to revenues from endowment funds for American museums.
The MMFA’s cost per visitor ($31) and number of employees (205) are lower than those for most American art museums that have more than one million visitors per year.

The Museum enables students to enter into contact with art and experience creation. They learn to structure their thinking and the way they represent the world. They develop techniques and creative acts. If art isn’t taught at school, we create visual illiterates.

During the summer, it’s hard to do projects with the kids: you don’t have enough time, or you don’t have the right materials.At the Museum’s Day Camp, my kids discovered art. They learned new techniques and experimented with various materials. It was fantastic! That’s why we sent all three of our children there for many years.

Coming soon, a world premiere: the first museum to dedicate space to art therapy will host innovative programmes in “art and health,” as well as serving for research and teaching (e.g.: master’s in art therapy)
Some people experienced major crises during the project. This type of experience enabled them to survive while coping with great difficulties. The Museum, for me, truly does play a social role. Providing this type of place to people did them a world of good. It was rewarding.

Research project on the effects of a Museum activity on patients with heart problems▪ Launched in fall 2014, it spans a six-month period and will assess whether a Museum visit helps people better control
the anxiety related to heart problems. ▪ The project is being carried out in collaboration with Museum educators and professionals from the Montreal Heart
Institute.
Research project with the Douglas Mental Health University Institute and Concordia University, through its master’s programme in art therapy aimed at validating the link between art and the treatment of anorexia nervosa▪ A Museum visit enriches the treatment protocol of the Douglas, which is already recognized as one of the most
innovative and effective mental health institutions in the world. ▪ Launched in early 2013, the project has already demonstrated positive effects on participants. The results will be
published in scientific journals.
Visits and workshops with Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers for the past five years▪ Activities to explore works in association with familiar topics such as the home or work▪ Workshops led by the Museum’s educators and an art therapist▪ Inspired by a similar programme at MoMa in New York
Foundation that fights bullying at school, partnering with the Museum since 2012▪ Creation of a poster featuring a work from the Museum’s collection sent to all schools across Quebec free of charge to
raise awareness of this issue▪ Organization of a school visit entitled The Art of Being Human, focussing on various topics associated with social
interactions, including conflict, harmony, bullying and co-operation
A series of events and activities presented in May 2015 as part of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, in collaboration with Fondation Émergence and Mouvement Desjardins▪ Presentation of the educational exhibition Allies in the Spotlight at the Museum, along with the exhibition Imaginary
Couples, at Complexe Desjardins, featuring figures from works in the Museum’s collection in the imaginary or real context of same-sex couples
The project included 16 people aged 14 to 25, mostly patients at Sainte-Justine and other mental health centres in Montreal whose symptoms have been stabilized. The group also included some non-patients. The patients’ identities was not known to any participant or member of the Museum team. This diversity gave the young people an opportunity to get to know each other, work together and, perhaps, change the non-patients’ perceptions and attitudes toward mental health problems.
