The Just for Laughs Museum was created by Gilbert Rozon, founder of the Just for Laughs festival in the same city 10 years earlier. Opened in 1993, the museum was a venue for all things funny with displays, exhibitions, and a multi-functional space for the presentation of public, private or professional events. The museum was located at 2111, boulevard Saint Laurent (2111, Saint Laurent Boulevard), Montreal, QC, Canada. Perhaps coincidentally, St-Laurent is the French name of Lawrence of Rome, the patron saint of comedians.
The museum closed its doors permanently on January 1, 2011, due to loss of profits associated with the maintenance costs for the over one hundred-year-old building.[2][3]
