Description:
MONTCALM. In 1933, the government of the province of Québec started its first museum, comprised of the national archives, and natural science and fine arts collections. Eventually the archives and natural science collections were moved, and the museum switched its focus exclusively to art. Today's collection includes Québécois art from several time periods: pre-1900, 1900-1950, 1950-2000, and post-2000. The site itself is spectacular. Two historic buildings are joined by a contemporary structure to offer changing exhibits of more than 20,000 works of art in 12 galleries. Before you leave, enjoy lunch at the café (highlighting Québec produce) and be sure to visit the gift shop. |

CHÂTEAU RICHER. Explore the art of repoussé (metal embossing) at this small museum and gallery. Its founder, Albert Gilles, was a Parisian-born artist who established quite a reputation for himself as an artist of great skill and insight, supplying works to churches, businesses and even Walt Disney. Most of the pieces on display here are copper, a metal native to Quebec, along with what is generally considered his crowning work: the story of Jesus Christ told over the course of 50 exquisitely detailed silver panels. On request for a small fee, the staff will teach you the basics of repoussé and you can take your own completed work of art home. Shop and tea room on-site as well. |
