  We visited for the Leonard Cohen exhibition and it was excellent. The gallery rooms are a good large size and several were set up with projections and some small padded seats and with more floor seating on carpet. (Fold out seats were available for older and disabled visitors). The films that had been created for the exhibition were incredible and gave you a good feel for L.C.'s life. Touching and heart warming. We visited parts of the other exhibitions which were good for modern art - not necessarily to my artistic taste though.

  Infinity of lines and dots have symbolism.  Such symbolism is ever changing according to the spirit’s depth.  All works are kaleidoscopic; they are usually composed of indescribable expressions.  Therefore, art’s depth also can be said to be unlimited.  Is pen art’s depth also infinite?  In other words, do the lines and dots flowing from the nib of a pen have an artistic qualification?  In this respect, it is worth thinking deeply.  Pen art begins from an essence of nature’s fundamental values.  From the standpoint of value, or color, a harmony of black and white is essential in nature.  As it is impossible to see any color in darkness, distinguishing color is an essential role of light.  That is why the soul is drawn to light.  Whiteness, or light is a spiritual reflection of the soul while blackness, or darkness is a reality of life on earth.  As the color green is an essential color of vegetation, burnt charcoal is an earthy color that will stay near black.  Blackness is heterogeneous and may be hostile to life.  If blackness belongs to the essence of nature, it also may be said to represent the image of death.  A combination of black and white constitutes degrees of lightness and darkness.  When painting black on a white background, the soul is transported to the white background.  Whiteness comes to life when contrasted with black line and black space.  In this case, soul also may be expressed through the blackness.  Soul may be transported to the black or a combination of white and black, which shed a mysterious merit to the soul or spirit.  Pen arts starts and ends from an essence of nature’s fundamental contrasts.  The primary essence is infinite and eternal while the artistic harmony of black and white can take one’s breath away.  But, this is not possible until a metamorphosis has been realized over many years and spiritual transcendence has occurred.  The transfer of spirit  occurs when one’s life experiences are projected onto the white canvas in harmony with blackness.  That is the true ‘pen art.’               Artist Lee Young Jun

  Wonderful museum. We visited during a "nocture" for Leonard Cohen temporary exhibition. Was crowded, but a great experience. The restaurant had special dishes for the occasion, a bit expensive but very tasty.

  Very disappointing! Would have been disappointed if admission had been free, but for $38 for 2 of us, it was an absolute rip off. Tiny exhibit hall. If Leonard Cohen is your hero, you may enjoy a little. Really nothing else to see except Leonard Cohen exhibit. We went to old Montreal after and saw much more art and art of quality! Would skip the museum and check out the local galleries instead. We couldn't stop talking about how awful the museum was.
