在这座新的获奖建筑(2010年加拿大建筑师荣誉奖和2011年魁北克城市发展学院颁发的优秀奖)中，博物馆将对魁北克和加拿大艺术的历史进行更加一致和全面的审查。新的克莱尔和马克·布基馆将为成千上万的游客、学校团体、家庭和游客提供机会，让他们更多地了解加拿大丰富的文化遗产。为了促进视觉艺术和音乐之间的新对话，博物馆的扩建包括修复前厄斯金教堂和美国教堂(1894年)的内殿，并将其改建为一个有444个座位的音乐厅。新的8，095 nsf.Bourgie音乐厅将举办全方位的音乐表演以及各种与博物馆有关的公共节目。通往克莱尔和马克·布基展馆和布基音乐厅的通道，是通过一个共用的新主入口进入博物馆现有展馆中发现的同一座大理石，而一个地下画廊(如图左)也将这两座建筑与让-诺埃尔·德斯马拉斯馆连接起来。

In this new award-winning building (recipient of the 2010 Canadian Architect Awards of Merit and the 2011 Award of Excellence from the Urban Development Institute of Quebec), the Museum will present a more coherent and comprehensive examination of the history of Quebec and Canadian art. Continuing the MMFA’s policy of offering free admission to its permanent collection, the new Claire and Marc Bourgie Pavilion will provide thousands of visitors, school groups, families, and tourists with the opportunity to learn more about Canada’s rich cultural heritage. In order to foster a new dialogue between the visual arts and music, the Museum’s expansion includes the restoration, and conversion of the nave of the former Erskine and American church (1894) into a 444-seat concert hall. The new 8,095-nsf.Bourgie Concert Hall will host a full range of music performances along with a variety of museum-related public programs. Access to the Claire and Marc Bourgie Pavilion and Bourgie Concert Hall is provided via a shared new main entrance clad in the same marble found in the Museum’s existing pavilions, while an underground gallery (pictured left) also links the two structures to the Jean-Noël Desmarais Pavilion.

国家历史遗址的复杂修复与改造

A Complex Restoration and Conversion of a National Historic Site

博物馆扩建工作的一个关键部分是拯救和吞并维多利亚时代的厄斯金和美国教会，该教堂于2004年被解封，并于2008年被博物馆收购。该教堂由加拿大历史遗址和古迹委员会于1998年指定为国家历史遗址，由蒙特利尔建筑师Alexander C.Hutchison于1894年建造，并受到美国建筑师亨利·霍布森·理查森的罗马式复兴建筑(波士顿三一教堂)的启发。它气势恢宏的外墙是由粗犷的灰色石灰石和雕刻华丽的褐米拉米希砂岩(都是新近修复和清理过的)和拜占庭风格的穹顶组成的巧妙组合而成的，在蒙特利尔是罕见的。

A critical component of the Museum’s expansion efforts involved saving and annexing the Victorian Erskine and American Church, deconsecrated in 2004 and acquired by the Museum in 2008. Designated a national historic site by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada in 1998, the church was built by Montreal architect Alexander C. Hutchison in 1894, and inspired by the Romanesque Revival buildings of American Architect Henry Hobson Richardson (Trinity Church, Boston). Its imposing façade, formed from an ingenious combination of heavily rusticated grey limestone and lavishly-sculpted brown Miramichi sandstone (all newly restored and cleaned), as well as Byzantine-style dome are rare in Montreal.

 Floor Plan

MFA的馆长和馆长NathalieBondil说：“这一选择代表了博物馆美化我们城市的主要举措。”由克劳德·普罗文彻(Claude Provencher)和马蒂厄·杰夫里奥(Matthieu Geoffrion)领导的蒙特利尔普罗文彻·罗伊·阿索奇(Roy associés)建筑师负责设计一座新的展馆，同时保存一座加拿大建筑宝库。他们与450名专业人士和工匠合作，完成了这一前所未有的魁北克城市发展学院授予普罗文彻·罗伊·阿索奇的建筑师2011年杰出奖，赞扬新展馆“独特的城市融合和设计，将过去和未来结合在一起”。

According to Nathalie Bondil, the MMFA’s Director and Chief Curator, “This choice represents a major initiative by the Museum to beautify our city.” Charged with the task of designing a new Pavilion while preserving a Canadian architectural treasure, Montreal-based Provencher Roy + Associés architects, led by Claude Provencher and Matthieu Geoffrion, worked with a team of 450 professionals and craftsmen on this unprecedented, multilevel, multipurpose addition. In awarding Provencher Roy + Associés architects with its 2011 Excellence Award, the Urban Development Institute of Quebec commended the new Pavilion for “its exceptional urban integration and its design, which brings past and future together.”
