Two guided tours on electronic art and architecture within the context of the Montreal Days of Culture.

The visitors can chose between two different tours: the amateur tour created for youngsters and those who are not familiar with contemporary art; the confirmed tour reserved for those who have previous knowledge of contemporary art practices. These free tours will be on September 24, 25 and 26  at 2 pm and 4 pm in the frame of
