Event description
In this small exhibition developed by the collections team, the MEM displays objects that evoke cocooning in winter. As the days grow shorter and the mercury drops, many people prefer to cozy up at home rather than brave the outdoors. How did Montrealers in the previous century spend their time indoors during the long winter months? They had to find ways to stay warm and entertain themselves!
These comforting objects are a reminder that winter is filled with simple pleasures.
