New PHI Exhibitions in Montréal: ANTHEMS and Turn or Burn

Looking for contemporary art in Montréal this autumn? Two new exhibitions at PHI open on October 28, 2026, bringing different perspectives on migration, technology, belief and the images that shape public life to Old Montréal.

Both exhibitions are scheduled to run until March 14, 2027, making them options for visitors arriving throughout the autumn and winter rather than only on opening week.

Which exhibitions are opening at PHI?

Stephanie Comilang: ANTHEMS

Opening at 451 Saint-Jean Street, ANTHEMS explores migration, technology and the invisible networks that connect people across places and communities.

The exhibition is described by PHI as Comilang’s most comprehensive exhibition to date. For visitors interested in contemporary art that engages with identity, movement and global connections, it offers a reason to add PHI to an Old Montréal itinerary.

Jean-François Bouchard: Turn or Burn

At 407 Saint-Pierre Street, Turn or Burn explores the relationship between belief, imagery and power in public life. The exhibition includes new works presented on a museum scale.

It offers a different thematic entry point from ANTHEMS, making the two exhibitions potentially complementary for visitors who want to spend more time with contemporary art.

When can you visit?

Both exhibitions are scheduled to run from October 28, 2026, to March 14, 2027.

PHI’s exhibition and event hours can vary, so check its current programme for the opening hours on your intended date. If you want to visit both exhibitions in one trip, confirm the locations and allow enough time to move between them.

How much do PHI exhibition tickets cost?

PHI lists exhibition tickets in a range of $10 to $30. Its day-access ticket provides access to exhibitions on view on the day of your visit, although the programme may change over the season.

Check the official ticketing page for the current price options and conditions before booking.

How to fit PHI into an Old Montréal visit

PHI is a useful stop for visitors exploring Old Montréal’s galleries, historic streets, restaurants and waterfront. Because the two exhibitions are at different addresses, plan the visit around both locations rather than assuming they occupy a single exhibition room.

A practical itinerary could include:

• Visiting one or both exhibitions during the afternoon.
• Exploring Old Montréal’s historic streets and architecture.
• Stopping for a coffee or meal nearby.
• Continuing toward the Old Port if you have time and the weather is suitable.

If you’re mainly interested in one exhibition, check its specific location and opening hours before planning the rest of your day.

Are these exhibitions worth seeing?

The strongest reason to visit is the contrast between their themes. ANTHEMS examines migration, technology and connections between people, while Turn or Burn considers belief, images and power.

Together, they offer a contemporary-art option for visitors who want to go beyond Montréal’s better-known historic attractions. Their planned run through March 2027 also makes them worth considering for winter trips.
