Immerse yourself in a varied, captivating artistic world at the MNBAQ

Be sure to visit the Musée national des beaux‑arts du Québec during your next visit to Québec City. Located at the heart of the Plains of Abraham, the MNBAQ combines architecture, art, gastronomy, and the pleasures of shopping. Two new exhibitions will transport visitors, first to Europe, in the footsteps of impressionist painter Helen McNicoll, who grandiosely captured the light in rural landscapes and on shorelines (an exhibition presented until January 5), then to Canada, with First Days, a celebration of 14 Indigenous nations through a novel historical and cultural panorama (presented starting October 17).
