MAPP, short for Mapping Art and Photography in Practice, is an art space in Montreal, Canada, devoted to photography and digital art. It is a place to see contemporary work that sits at the meeting point of photography, video and new media.
What to expect
The space shows its work through immersive exhibitions and projections, so a visit tends to feel more like stepping into a piece than walking past framed prints. Visitors interested in how images are made and displayed today will find the approach especially engaging.

Why it suits a visit
MAPP works as a creative platform for artists exploring new forms of image-making, which means its program is oriented toward the present rather than the historical collection. It is a good choice for anyone who wants to see how photography is extending beyond the still frame.
Montreal itself offers plenty to pair with a gallery visit. Its neighbourhoods, cafés and cultural scene make it easy to combine an afternoon at MAPP with time spent exploring the city on foot.
