/\ Agreed. They are both vastly overrated as a tourist attraction. I find it somewhat embarrasing when the RESO is mentionned in a list of stuff to see in Montreal. It would be low on my list. If one want to see art, the newly opened 5th pavillon of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is where to go.
Of interrest in the newly opened stuff also is the observatory on top of Place Ville-Marie. Also worth a mention: cité mémoire, in Old Montreal.
