#30×30, 2025, Day 19: Cheat Day!
June 19, 2025

I’ve been out sketching at the Pointe-à-Callière museum’s current show; Les Chevaliers – Knights in armor.
I predict this show will be a hit for them – I’ve never seen so many men excited to be at a museum. I don’t mean to be sexist, but you don’t usually see a lot of retired guys or middle aged dads going to the museum by themselves – never mind their obvious delight at this well stocked show of arms and armor.
Of course there’s plenty of families, and I did see a couple of young girls trying on the reproduction armor pieces and lifting the swords. So there is something for the whole family at this one.
Either way, it’s a terrific show for sketching!

I love these watercolors of knights! Is there an exhibition catalog?
I do believe there is a book for sale, but I didn’t stop to look at it? I have purchased books from the Pointe in the past and they’re always made to a very high standard.
Goodness Marc, You really can turn out the work and it is stunning. Best, Melissa from 30×30
