The Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec is located on the Plains of Abraham. It's four pavilions house a collection of over 40,000 works dating from the 17th century to present day. On top of world-class exhibitions and cultural activities, visitors can also enjoy the restaurant, café and gift shop.
In our recent trip to Quebec City, we had the pleasure of spending an afternoon at this great museum. We could have spent more time (for art lovers, you can easily spend 4 hours with a nice lunch in between). We were lucky that Manif D’Art 9 (La Biennale de Québec) was going on, taking over a big part of the Pavillon Pierr Lassonde, and we thoroughly explored that amazing collective show. The contemporary art and First Nation art sections of the permanent collection are very interesting and engaging. The pavilions with modern art and ancient art collections are also wonderful, and we hope to spend more time in those during our next trip. Top-notch museum. It was the best of the attractions during our visit.

Maison Saint-Gabriel, museum and historic site, opened its doors in 1966. Located in Pointe-Saint-Charles, this magnificent 300-year-old building is one of the finest examples of the traditional architecture of New France. Purchased by Marguerite Bourgeoys in 1668 to house the King’s Wards, it lay at the heart of the agricultural and educational activities of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame for three centuries.

The Site historique de la maison Lamontagne is an historical site and museal institution depicting the Nouvelle-France era, the architecture and the life of its inhabitants. The Lamontagne House is an historic building classified by the Ministère de la culture et des communications of Québec.
Leading up to the house itself, were educational English/French information panels on the building practices through the eras ending with the construction method used for the Lamontagne house. The costumed guides were friendly, knowledgeable and during the Covid-19 re-opening, extremely respectful of precautions. One guide a 10 minute presentation on the history of the time and explained the background of the house; bravo to her as it was clear and done well! The house itself had information in French only. However, we are bilingual and did not have a problem. Extremely well-done, learned a lot, and worth the stop. There are steep stairs to the second floor of the house; something to be aware of.

We arrived to take the train to Montreal from here. It’s a history rich, beautiful building with modern amenities. So nice to see a functioning train station that’s clean and welcoming. Recommended.
