Contemporary Art Quebec Collection

Since 1960, the québécoise art scene has operated a radical rupture, freeing itself from traditions to embrace bold modernity. The Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec gathers the masterpieces of this creative adventure within its permanent exhibition. Through iconic signatures, the selection illustrates how painting, sculpture and new media translated the upheavals of a society in full transformation. These works, drawn from a carefully curated national collection, offer a unique perspective on local genius and its international influence. As of March 1st, 2026, this presentation will be installed for the long term to celebrate the visual power of creators from here. This is an opportunity to grasp the pulse of a vibrant culture, where every volume and color tells an essential part of our contemporary artistic history.
