In 2024, the buildings of the Bel-Air estate celebrate 150 years of construction! Built in 1873-1874 for wealthy businessman Alfred Brown, the estate included the main residence, the gardener’s house, as well as the stable, which is now the Dorval Museum. To mark this important milestone in our Museum’s history, the exhibition Bel-Air: An Equestrian Estate offers a glimpse into our building at the time of its construction. Come and meet the characters who may have frequented the premises and learn more about the equestrian activities favoured by Dorval residents in the 19th century.

▶ Vernissage: Wednesday, May 29, at 6:30 p.m.

 Advance registration required at musee@ville.dorval.qc.ca or 514 633-4314.
