I wasn’t sure what to expect since we come from NYC, which has a lot of art museums, but this one was wonderfully curated and presented. It was fantastic to discover some incredibly talented artists from Quebec. The building's architecture is also impressive. The standout for me was the David Altmejd piece, The Flux and the Puddle. It's such an amazing and intricate work! I could have spent hours just admiring it.

I particularly loved the contemporary art exhibition and the displays on Québécois design history. The space is quite expansive, so make sure to allocate plenty of time to explore everything. Be ready to walk a lot, and don’t forget to bring a water bottle! They close at 5 PM, so plan accordingly.

Multiple floors in three buildings, joined by a pedestrian tunnel. From historic to contemporary, works from Quebec artists, Quebec scenes. Impressive exhibition of works by Inuit artist, Manasie Akpaliapik. Entire gallery for each of several artists, including Pellan, Lemieux, Riopelle, Leduc, etc. Fun pictures as part of Mimèsis, where people re-created paintings in their own homes. Creative use of the former jail cells in the Baillairgé pavilion, currently for displays about the Rohingya. I spent two hours, but it would be easy to spend longer. Nice gift shop. The café on the ground floor of the main building didn’t appear to offer any vegan meals.
