Urban Destination 1

It's time to head for an in-town culture destination: the UQAM design department's latest show (news story link).

UQAM's Centre de Design presents Quebec en Design, a selection of 179 items that showcase the best of Quebec design. On hand: everything from posters to porcelains to a pepper mill. The exhibition, which continues until Dec. 16, is a joint venture between the Centre de Design and Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, home of the collection on display.

There's plenty to see and do in these dark months. This UQAM show is free, it's in downtown, a good destination for anyone in any part of the city. If you don't want to ride in the slush. take your feet and walk there. If you live too far, take public transit part way, and walk the rest of the way. It's fun to get outside!
