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.

The museum's architecture is simply stunning. The sleek, modern design of the glass ceiling and white spiral staircase is a sight to behold. Additionally, the lobby area boasts a delightful cafe that is sure to please visitors. With four floors and ample space, the museum feels expansive and inviting. During our visit, we explored the LGBT photography exhibit, which proved to be quite intriguing. While some of the contemporary art was captivating, other pieces were merely passable. All in all, it was a worthwhile experience, and at $50 for admission for two, it was a great value.

COVID protocols were well in place upon our visit and one feels comfortable visiting this impressive museum. I did not expect such a large footprint nor the wide array of exhibits. The design of the exhibitions were well done, they were clear and understandable to a occasional museum visitor, such as myself. The architecture was interactive and fun to experience and consider. There was a good amount of representational work, from probably 1880 and on, which tends to be the sort of paintings and subject matter which I most enjoy. I’ve included a selection of items and spaces that caught my attention. Would visit again, should I return to Quebec in the future.

I was just looking for a place with AC to stay and walked into this museum, it turned out to be one of the best art museums I've been to in Canada. Despite its smaller size, the museum is incredibly well curated, offering a unique experience. The architecture is beautiful, with white stairs, a huge elevator, and a large terrace. I only explored the main gallery due to the closure of other buildings. They have a diverse range of art on display, from indigenous art to fashion, contemporary paintings, and modern graphic & furniture designs. The Québécoise art on the second floor, in particular, provided a meaningful insight into Canadian contemporary art and culture. I also appreciated the reading room as a lovely space to relax.

I was in the area and decided to check out some of the local culture and ended up at this museum. Walking into the main front entrance you are greeted by a security guard who really seriously wants you to sanitize hands and put a mask on. I did without being asked but the elder in front of me got sidelined almost by his speedy approach. The staff at the front counter seemed very nice. Gave me a pamphlet/visitors guide and a quick run down of which way I could find which exhibit. A little pricey for me to walk myself around and look at things (Ranges by age $16-$26 or so). Saw some of the exhibits that were here by Pellan, Riopelle, and such that were on display at this time. Some very odd things were here but also some quite beautiful pieces as well. I'm not a very cultured person and this is a stop I would not normally make - But I had some time to kill and it was a decent place to take in some creativity from other peoples brains. I either went during a very not busy time or the place is just usually not that busy - but it made it extremely peaceful to look at all of the art at my own pace without a fear of having to move to make room for someone else....except for... I did feel oddly uncomfortable with their security. It seriously felt like they were just following me around. Maybe I looked suspicious as a single male walking around - but it was almost overbearing and seemed like they take their job way too serious. It almost ruined my experience and made me feel hurried. Overall, if you like art - this is a place to go and take it all in.

While I wish the rest of the buildings were open, I had an amazing time in the main building and its three floors. The building itself is architecturally stunning and the art on display is enjoyable. I especially liked the Alexander McQueen exhibit on the ground floor. Art makes me happy. I am in the city with some of my students who also enjoyed the museum.

Should have allowed more time for just sitting and enjoying the building itself and the amazing architecture. The installations were presented in such innovative ways, that was nearly as interesting as the art itself. Restaurant in the lobby was awesome.

Amazing museum with a lot of local, quality art. Especially loved expositions “In the darkness” and from 5 young women artists.

We really liked this museum, especially the Inuit Art exhibition. I was blown away by the expressions and craftsmanship. Highly recommended. Disappointed in the night / dark exhibition, just not my piece of cake. Very good cafe on site.

Excellent Establishment! The various expansions and additions initiatives completed over the years, have proven to be relevant.

Welcome to the Museum of Humanity's Regress! A surreal journey through art that humorously mirrors the descent of mankind. The tasteful and ironic exhibitions beautifully showcased our degradation over time, leaving visitors questioning humanity's peculiar quirks. My tour culminated in an artistic escape from the insanity, as I couldn't resist contributing my own masterpiece: "Escape." A masterpiece that will surely make you laugh and ponder all at once. Bravo, Museum, for exposing our follies in such an entertaining and thought-provoking manner!

National Art Museum of Quebec. Beautiful interior design with many Famous art pieces and open and quiet environment during visit. Kids friendly. Worth to go. Their permanent exhibitions are free admission now til April.

Historical, cultural and inclusive to visually impaired people. I really like their expositions that are sometimes eye-opening and challenging. My personal favorite is the Inuit sculptures (Sadly I did not take pictures)

Beautiful museum with world class architecture and an impressive collection of Quebec and indigenous arts! The Musee national res beaux-arts du Quebec is located on the historic Plains of Abraham. It consists of 4 separate buildings, connected with in underground tunnel, featuring an impressive collection of Quebec and Inuit arts. The newest building is Pierre Lassonde pavilion, designed by the leading OMA architecture firm. The pavilion includes a café in its main lobby, a courtyard adjacent to the lobby, a white spiral staircase, and a gold-coloured elevator. The building was named after Pierre Lassonde, a benefactor of the museum. The colouring of the gold elevator was chosen to reflect Lassonde's work with gold. Currently at the museum, there is a special exhibition “America. Between dreams and reality”, featuring about 100 paintings, photographs, sculptures, and video works by 82 artists drawn from the prestigious collection of the Hirshhorn Museum--the Smithsonian Institution's national museum of modern arts, such as Pollock, Rothko, Kline, Hopper, Oldenburg, de Kooning, Warhol, etc. Equally impressive is the Raymond Brosseau collection of Inuit artist Manasie Akpaliapik’s works, located at the Gerard Morriset Pavillion. Originally from Baffin Island, Akpaliapik sculpts with bone, ivory, and stone. His sculptures typically have human or animal forms and are closely connected with traditional beliefs. it is a must-see for those whom love Inuit sculptures! The rooftop garden is beautifully manicured, with native plants and 2 stacks of honeybee hives, perfectly incorporated into the building and surrounding landscape. The museum is also friendly to the visually impaired, it has features to play descriptive info by audio. Highly recommend!

Lots of things to see and experience. They have something for everyone! I personally really enjoyed their contemporary exhibition and the Québécois design history exhibitions. It’s quite vast and they close at 5 so set aside plenty of time to see everything and be prepared to walk a lot and bring a bottle of water!

This is a lovely place to spend a few hours. The half price Wednesday evenings are more than enough time to take in all the exhibits and the building is very beautiful at night.

Amazing museum! Beautiful, clean, organized, respecting all the health measures and taking care that the social distancing is respect. Frida Expo was AMAZING! We had the audio guide and was incredible. The display is beautiful! The other two expos are amazing! Modern art and Inuit art. Extremely recommended experience and cuddles to the crew and curators of the museum. Quebec is now my home so I really look forward to go Many many other times! 💜💙💚❤️💛

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.

I love it. They do such a great job here. I was so into the inuit statures and carvings I did not photograph them, thinking back it just wouldn't feel right to.

I would set aside 3-4 hours for this excellent museum. The permanent and temporary exhibits were excellent. I really liked the contemporary Inuit art exhibit. Amazing building in its own right.

hands down to this magical place. I had the most amazing evening yesterday, it was cold outside so being in a place like this was the best. They have 3 floors full of art and like an exhibition on floor 1 that you have to check that out.

We had a great time visiting the free collection, as well as a temporary exposition on the Rohingya refugees--which was really well presented and very moving. There's a lot of contemporary/modern art, which we prefer cause it's so much fun. There's also a beautifully arranged floor with Inuit art; and another area where they're working on integrating more diverse artists. Honestly, for just the price of parking, it's a great visit.

Actually love that it's well curated, read: not overwhelming since I love reading the descriptions. The bookstore downstairs is nice too.

About a half hour walk from the old city the museum has a few ok exhibits on the second and third floors. Apparently everything is condensed into one building because of revamping. It’s worth a look especially on a rainy day.

Five stars for the museum building and the permanent collection, a great way to learn about the history of art in Quebec. The Picasso exhibition was an amazing opportunity to see so many of his masterpieces. A great way to recharge with beauty! I am removing a couple of stars for the way the museum organized this exhibition. Besides the beauty, I had to fight to not be distracted by the cultural propaganda of the curators? As soon as you step in, the museum felt the need to apologize for organizing this exhibition, and it goes on and on, the curators keep analyzing and explaining Picasso's work through a radical feminist filter. I'm not sure Picasso would have accepted his works to be used and abused in this way.

For it's name, we were expecting a much better experience. It was quite underwhelming. The exhibits were small compared to other such museums.

Very nicely designed building especially the spiral staircase. A lot of masterpieces should be watched. I recommend visiting the the museum Strongly

Picasso exhibit was very interesting. The museum is huge, and we were only able to get through the first building. You definitely need an entire day to view the entire museum.

The architecture of this building is amazing. A real tour de force of modern style. Clean sweeping lines, large open rooms, with clean stainless steel and glass hardware. The building outshines most of the art within it, as most of the collections feel less like premier artists and more like college art students. While the space seems to be a great place for classes and education, with the exception of the native Inuk sculpture, there isn't currently any must see art here in the museum's permanent collection. For whatever reason, when we visited only one building of the Beau arts was open. Which made the experience much less than it could have been. The price was reasonable, but at the moment it is only a 2 or so hour experience. A great space for art, and I look forward to other collections coming to the museum.

Loved the Alexander McQueen exhibition, so well curated! The inuit art too. The building is perfect for exhibitions.

Super organized and beautiful place to visit if you have an interest in art or it is you major you will need two day to go through everything in here . Highly recommended.

Beautiful building and artworks. It was not busy on a weekday afternoon. No need to buy tickets ahead of time, we bought our tickets there. Free jacket storage so don’t need to worry about carrying it while walking around. There are 3 buildings so we spent around 2 hours here!

Beautiful terrace and very interesting art! Loved the Picasso exhibition! Also, the MCM furniture and decor section was a pleasant surprise! Definitely recommend checking it out!

The architectural project for the new museum building is impressive and visitors should also take time to enter the church. The museum building is in the former grounds of the capuchin friars' dormitories. Both permanent and temporary exposition were interesting for all ages. Museum shop is also worth a visit! As for the restaurant, I strongly suggest further training to the staff regarding allowing new associates to the museum to benefit from the promised 15% discount in the bill. The lack of restaurant flexibility is prejudicial to the museum.

It has definitely pieces of art that are worth the visit to the museum. It has so much pieces of art that you can admire but you might not appreciate all of them, like myself. I have to say that the experience was definitely worth it but just a tiny bit disappointing since I didn't (or didn't know how) appreciate all of the pieces. Apart from that, the staff is very well informed and they guide you very well through the museum. I recommend that you get reservations before going since it has a limited capacity because of covid.

Very interesting places to see how artists changed their mindset through history and how the changes reflected in their art pieces. Offers an exhibition of Intuit cultural. Cheap ticket prices compared what they offered.

The Picasso exhibition, was simply OK, I expected more.

What a good museum! 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.
