Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec.

The Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ) is a cultural gem in Quebec City, featuring over 42,000 art pieces that highlight the province's rich artistic heritage. The museum houses works from historical Quebecois artists like Alfred Pellan, along with modern and contemporary pieces across its distinct pavilions—the Gérard-Morrisset for historical art, the Charles-Baillairgé for modern art, and the Pierre-Lassonde for contemporary and Inuit art. In addition to its extensive collections, the MNBAQ regularly hosts innovative temporary exhibitions showcasing both local and international talents. Visitors can enjoy guided tours, interactive experiences, and a sculpture garden that complements the museum's architecture, designed by world-renowned firm OMA. The museum is also accessible and offers an inviting atmosphere with cafes, boutique shopping, and engaging educational programs.
