Maisonneuve 1976. If Marius Saw That…
Station Pie-IX (Green line)
The exhibition looks at 1976, when two sites designed by Marius Dufresne were in the news: the southern part of Parc Maisonneuve became the Olympic Park, and the neighbouring Maison Dufresne was classified as a historic monument after citizen mobilization. It was produced with the Olympic Park and the Macdonald Stewart Foundation.
