Musée des beaux arts de Sherbrooke

Small and cozy from what I had the chance to see. Was there during the opening of an expo so I didn't get to see the main collection.

Beautiful exhibitions, frequent updates, and an amazing location right next to the fast-flowing, roaring river that supplies Hydro Sherbrooke's turbines. A must-see!

Small but satisfying collection. While the museum does not boast a huge collection of pieces it presents it's main exhibit, Quebec landscapes, in a satisfying and unique way. Combined with 2 alternating exhibits the museum provides a decent level of return-ability combined with the comfort of a few favorites in the small but charming permanent collection.

I have been to larger museums around the world, but if you are staying in this region of Southeastern Québec and want to get out to see something apart from the lakes and the adorable villages, then you can make a short day trip centered around a stop at this museum. Nice space in a former bank-you can take a little look inside the old vault that has informational displays on the building's history. The main show they had that was a contemporary installation featuring indigenous lives was interesting with pop-culture references and radical graphics. But, the installation was in a medium-size room, and I wish there could have been more of it somehow. Staff are bilingual and even though not all the pamphlets they will give you if you ask are in English as well as French, the people working there explain well in English what exhibits are where in the museum. Wish that this museum was a little bigger, but overall it was a beautiful place with some interesting pieces on display and nice people working there!

Nice exhibitions, not very big
