Quebec and Canadian Art


(RE)DISCOVER THE COLLECTION IN THE NEW CLAIRE AND MARC BOURGIE PAVILION STARTING OCTOBER 14

Since its founding in 1860, the Museum has built up an outstanding collection of 2,000 works of Quebec and Canadian art created before 1970, including 500 Inuit sculptures and 180 Amerindian artifacts.

The new Claire and Marc Bourgie Pavilion of Quebec and Canadian Art features a chronological presentation of 600 works of art on six levels. Each level showcases a historical period in a unique installation: Inuit Art, Founding Identities (1700s-1870s), The Era of Annual Exhibitions (1880s-1920s), Towards Modernism (1920s-1930s), Age of the Manifesto (1940s-1960s) and Expanding Fields (1960s-1970s).

An original audioguide featuring three tracks (detailed comments on a selection of works, a musical stroll and archival audio extracts from the CBC and Radio-Canada) is available to all visitors free of charge.
