Description

The area now called Little Burgundy was the birthplace of jazz in Montreal. Explore the textures of Montreal’s jazz era through an array of rare jazz artifacts, including swizzle sticks and menus from renowned Montreal nightclubs, flapper dresses of the 1920s, porter uniforms, old LP vinyl records, cocktail shakers, and sheet music. Each object tells a fascinating story!
