Leitmotifs – Until October 25, Museum of Costume and Textile LiveEvents August 24, 2015 6340 Museum of Costume and Textile of Quebec presents Leitmotifs Whether floral, animal, geometric or figurative, the patterns that grace the surface of fabrics give them personality.

Leitmotifs looks at the most iconic patterns by presenting nearly 100 pieces from the museum’s collection alongside creations by several Québécois guest designers: Betina Lou, Coloré Design, Niapsou Design and Travis Taddeo. There will also be hundreds of neckties on display. Which one has your favourite pattern? Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed on Mondays.
