Early Auguste

Soon enough, the hot summer sun will have us seeking some respite indoors.

Our plan is to slip into the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to catch the largest Canadian exhibition of works by and about Auguste Rodin, on display till October 18th. Metamorphoses: In Rodin’s Studio features 300 works, including rare loans from the Musée Rodin in Paris. View 171 sculptures, sketches, watercolours and prints, including original studio plasters of masterpieces The Thinker and The Walking Man, and explore photographs of the artist and his work by Eugène Druet.

Come out feeling cool and cultured. —Jennifer Nachshen
