Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec

This is a lovely place to spend a few hours. The half price Wednesday evenings are more than enough time to take in all the exhibits and the building is very beautiful at night.

COVID protocols were well in place upon our visit and one feels comfortable visiting this impressive museum.I did not expect such a large footprint nor the wide array of exhibits. The design of the exhibitions were well done, they were clear and understandable to a occasional museum visitor, such as myself. The architecture was interactive and fun to experience and consider.There was a good amount of representational work, from probably 1880 and on, which tends to be the sort of paintings and subject matter which I most enjoy. I’ve included a selection of items and spaces that caught my attention.Would visit again, should I return to Quebec in the future.

Beautiful and diverse exhibits! I especially loved the Inuit art. The building was clean, the displays very well done, and the architecture was fascinating. Very reasonable entrance fee at $16.

Beautiful building and artworks. It was not busy on a weekday afternoon. No need to buy tickets ahead of time, we bought our tickets there. Free jacket storage so don’t need to worry about carrying it while walking around. There are 3 buildings so we spent around 2 hours here!

I was just looking for a place with AC to stay and walked into this museum, it turned out to be one of the best art museums I've been to in Canada. Despite its smaller size, the museum is incredibly well curated, offering a unique experience compared to the National Gallery and the AGO. The architecture is beautiful, with white stairs, a huge elevator, and a large terrace. I only explored the main gallery due to the closure of other buildings.They have a diverse range of art on display, from indigenous art to fashion, contemporary paintings, and modern graphic & furniture designs. The Québécoise art on the second floor, in particular, provided a meaningful insight into Canadian contemporary art and culture. I also appreciated the reading room as a lovely space to relax.

The museum's architecture is simply stunning. The sleek, modern design of the glass ceiling and white spiral staircase is a sight to behold. Additionally, the lobby area boasts a delightful cafe that is sure to please visitors. With four floors and ample space, the museum feels expansive and inviting. During our visit, we explored the LGBT photography exhibit, which proved to be quite intriguing. While some of the contemporary art was captivating, other pieces were merely passable. All in all, it was a worthwhile experience, and at $50 for admission for two, it was a great value.

We had a great time visiting the free collection, as well as a temporary exposition on the Rohingya refugees--which was really well presented and very moving. There's a lot of contemporary/modern art, which we prefer cause it's so much fun. There's also a beautifully arranged floor with Inuit art; and another area where they're working on integrating more diverse artists. Honestly, for just the price of parking, it's a great visit.

While I wish the rest of the buildings were open, I had an amazing time in the main building and its three floors. The building itself is architecturally stunning and the art on display is enjoyable. I especially liked the Alexander McQueen exhibit on the ground floor. Art makes me happy. I am in the city with some of my students who also enjoyed the museum.

The architectural project for the new museum building is impressive and visitors should also take time to enter the church. The museum building is in the former grounds of the capuchin friars' dormitories. Both permanent and temporary exposition were interesting for all ages. Museum shop is also worth a visit! As for the restaurant, I strongly suggest further training to the staff regarding allowing new associates to the museum to benefit from the promised 15% discount in the bill. The lack of restaurant flexibility is prejudicial to the museum.

Large museum, needs more maps; multiple buildings and floors a bit large to walk and notice.
