Temporary exhibitions:

Chicoutimi – Photos Michel Tremblay May 13 to September 17, 2023

”Photogenic, Chicoutimi is. It is enough to walk there, to be attentive to its ugliness as much as to its charms. Be on the lookout for a knowing gaze, for a situation that develops in the setting you have selected, and suddenly, Chicoutimi is bursting with beauty and life, regardless of the season.”
