When we visited, there was a superb exhibition of clothing fashion through the ages, illustrated by paintings and enhanced by examples produced by modern designers, drawing their inspiration from the paintings. Well worth the visit.

My husband (who is not a museum lover) and I both thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this museum! Our favorite sections were the abstract arts and the Inuit arts display. The Inuit carvings were so intricate and delicate. And the best part was that it was free!

Set in the Parc des Champs-de-Bataille, this gallery is one not to miss if you are visiting Quebec City. The exhibitions are intelligently curated, some international in orientation, others with a focus on Canada/Quebec. The buildings and exhibition galleries are themselves architecturally interesting and provide a tranquil space to wile away a couple of hours. We caught a brilliant exhibition...

We visit this museum at least once a year, specially when they have an exhibition of european masters works.

The Caillebotte exhibit (closed early January) was very interesting. I also enjoyed the Inuit exhibit, but found much of the other art unremarkable. The restaurant has excellent food, though.

If you have been to the MET or Louvre, this will pale in comparison. However, it is a nice museum and worth a visit if you enjoy art.
