Stairway to heaven

We spent the day in the Fine Art Museum of Montreal. Their big exhibition is Rodin with a record number of his plaster, bronze and marble sculptures. I understand him better now. But what I really liked was the Marion Wagschal, http://www.mbam.qc.ca/en/exhibitions/on-view/marion-wagschal/ retrospective. She is a local artist who tells her stories in meticulous paint.

The cat appears in several paintings.

We braved the metro to get there and back and I spotted this staircase. Montreal, 3 story plus basement, terrace houses favour iron staircases that go up to the first (US 2nd) floor instead of having an internal staircase but this is ridiculous.

We had a wonderful, proper French dinner with Judy and David to round off our stay here.
