Well worth a visit. Much more than art on a wall. Don't miss the Riopelle mural (3 sections, maybe 90' long) on the lower level.

A great art museum! I wasn’t sure what to expect (we’re from NYC where we have a ton of art museums) but this was amazingly curated and presented, and it was great to discover some really talented artists from Quebec. The architecture of the building is also great. The highlight for me was the David Altmejd piece, The Flux and the Puddle. Such an amazing and intricate piece! I could have looked at it for hours.

Beautiful and diverse exhibits! I especially loved the Inuit art. The building was clean, the displays very well done, and the architecture was fascinating. Very reasonable entrance fee at $16.
